VIC METRO prospects dominate the list of 64 players invited to this year's Telstra AFL Draft Combine, with potential top-10 picks Cooper Duff-Tytler, Oliver Greeves and Sam Grlj among those selected.

The invites were sent out based on nominations from AFL recruiters, with each club putting forward their top 50 prospects ahead of the Combine which is due to run from October 3-5 at the State Netball and Hockey Centre.

Vic Metro had 19 players selected among the 64-strong group – the most of any representative side – with South Australia having 14 players chosen after winning the recent Marsh AFL National Under-18 Boys Championships.

Potential first-round selections Dyson Sharp, Mitch Marsh, Aidan Schubert, Sam Cumming and Jevan Phillipou headline the list of South Australians selected to test themselves in running and vertical jump, 20m sprint, agility and a 2km time trial.

Queensland had eight players selected including Northern Academy talents from Gold Coast (Zeke Uwland, Dylan Patterson, Beau Addinsall, Koby Coulson, Jai Murray) and Brisbane (Dan Annable, Tyan Prindable, Isaac Waller).

Those with fewer nominations from AFL clubs will be selected for respective state-based combines, which will run October 5 (Victoria), October 11 (South Australia) and October 12 (Western Australia).
