DOUGIE Cochrane, Cody Walker and Arki Butler headline the group of 63 prospects invited to this year's Telstra AFL Draft Combine.
The four-day national Combine will run from Wednesday, September 30 to Saturday, October 3, where this year's draft class will undergo athletic testing and interviews with clubs.
After winning the Marsh AFL National Under-18 Boys Championships title, Vic Metro dominated the invites to the Draft Combine, with 22 players added from the squad. Official invites went out to players in recent days.
Butler, Harry van Hattum and Gus Teixeira are among the top talents from Metro who will be there, with the interviews with clubs again to be held at the MCG and testing to take place at the state hockey and netball centre.
Another 39 draft hopefuls have been invited to test for a state Combine, with the AFL open to adding more players if they garner significant club interest before the Combines.Â
The invite list is compiled based on club votes from recruiters, who submit their lists of players they are interested in.Â
