Eyre, who is a key position forward, can join the Bombers under NGA rules and showed his athleticism in last Friday's testing for Vic Country players in Bendigo. 

He finished second in the 2km time trial and 20-metre sprint, as well as runner up in the running and standing vertical jumps tests. At 2.89 seconds his sprint time put him into the elite for a prospect of his 197cm frame. 

Likely early selections Tanner Bruhn, Oliver Henry and Zach Reid were among the other Victorians who were able to test. 

In Sydney it was midfielder Errol Gulden who won the 2km time trial with a time of 6:32, while fellow Swans Academy prospect Braeden Campbell highlighted his brilliant speed with a time of 2.9 seconds in the sprint. 

Godfrey Okerenyang, who has an athletics background, also impressed in testing by blitzing the jumps and speed tests.
