Two members of the boys' under-18 program and four girls will attend the preludes to the national drafts.

East Point teammates Nick Stevens and Harry Sharp are among 22 Victoria Country male players off to the AFL combine.

Lake Wendouree's Renee Saulitis and Alice Astbury, will join Isabella Simmons (Ararat Storm) and Maggie Caris (Horsham Saints) at the AFLW testing session.

Dates for the Victorian combines are still to be set owing to COVID-19 restrictions.

Neither Stevens or Sharp had an opportunity to represent the Rebels this year owing to NAB League boys' competition not making a start in the COVID-19 environment.

The Rebels girls played two matches before the season was postponed and later cancelled.

PROFILES

The AFL has invited 82 female and 96 male players from across Australia to the combines, which owing to COVID-19 travel restrictions will take place in multiple locations as state-based events.

Vic Metro has the largest list of invitees with 24 females and 25 males selected, followed by Vic Country with 22 males, South Australia with 20 and Western Australia with 12 players invited.

The combines will assess each player's strength and skills through several tests including 20-metre sprint, agility tests and vertical jump.

AFL talent ambassador Kevin Sheehan said this year's version of the combine would look a little different, but it would provide all AFLW and AFL clubs a chance to assess players on their fitness, skills and agility.

"Clubs are able to conduct one-on-one interviews with all players at the draft combine either in person or digitally."

The AFL is continuing to work towards a return to train and return to play model for Vic Country and Vic Metro girls' and boys' state squads, which if it were safe to proceed, would ensure talent are provided with an opportunity to showcase their skills and assist them in reaching the elite level.

Both squads will not start training, play matches or be tested until it is safe to do so.
