Queenscliff onballer Jhye Clark has been invited to the AFL Draft Combine.

Clark is one of two Geelong Falcons players to be invited to the combine along with St Joseph’s Olivier Northam.

The NAB AFL Draft Combine will showcase many of the most talented boys in the country and will be held in Melbourne from Friday October 7 to Sunday October 9.

It will be the first time a national combine has been staged for boys or girls since 2019.

Club interviews and medical screenings will be conducted at Marvel Stadium across the first two days of the Combine, with physical testing to be held at Melbourne Park on October 9.

Among the tests that will be conducted are the vertical jump, running vertical jump, 20-metre sprint, agility test and 2km time trial.

All states and territories will be represented at the 2022 NAB AFL Draft Combine, with the invite list featuring a spread of talent from across Australia.

Clark is considered a top five draft prospect this season and was the Falcons’ captain this year.

AFL Talent Ambassador Kevin Sheehan said the 2022 NAB AFL Draft Combine provided a great opportunity for players to showcase their physical ability ahead of this year’s NAB AFL Draft.

“The Draft Combine sees the best players from across Australia come together to showcase their abilities in front of AFL clubs,” Sheehan said.

“The players invited to the 2022 NAB AFL Draft Combine are considered by AFL clubs to be the leading prospects for the 2022 NAB AFL Draft.”
