Seven of Queensland’s draft hopefuls were put through a day of physical testing, as part of this year’s state screenings.
Aspley’s Isaac Conway, Nick Jackson, Cain Tickner and Aden Rutledge, Morningside’s Ryley Buntain and Ben McNiece and Redland’s Luke Rogerson attended the screening, under the watch of the 18 AFL clubs.
At least two AFL clubs must have registered their interest in a player for them to be invited to the state screening, which was held at Etihad Stadium.
The players were put through five tests on the day – the vertical jump test, 20m sprint, 30m repeat sprints, agility and the beep test.
McNiece and Buntain were invited to the combine after strong seasons in the NEAFL, while the other five attendees were members of the Queensland U-18 side.
