IN OTHER NEWS:
The Rebels feature on a list of 78 players who have been invited to the combine, including 34 Victorian draft hopefuls.
The 2021 AFLW draft will remain state-based with players who nominate for the draft electing the state they wish to play in.
Many elect to play in their home state, like former Rebels duo Maggie Caris and Ella Simmons who were picked up by Melbourne in last year's AFLW draft.
Details of the combine are yet to be confirmed, with the draft nomination period opening on Monday, June 21 and closing on Friday, July 9.
This year's draft will take place on Tuesday, July 27. The AFL is yet to decide on a format as it monitors the COVID situation.
"We look forward to recognising and celebrating the many talented footballers who will be selected as part of the NAB AFLW Draft next month," AFL general manager women's football Nicole Livingstone said.
"What we're seeing year on year is great talent coming through women's football pathways across the country, and I can't wait for football fans to witness the next generation of talent to impact the NAB AFLW Competition."
