The AFL has released the names of 40 Victorian players invited to attend the 2023 AFLW Draft Combine.
Of the 40, three were from the Western Jets.
The draft combine will showcase the country’s most talented draft-age girls footballers and will again be held across multiple locations across Australia throughout September and October.
The events will be held on Sunday, October 8 at Margaret Court Arena and the AIA Centre.
Physical testing to be conducted will include the vertical jump, running vertical jump, 20-metre sprint, agility test and 2km time trial.
All players invited to attend the combine are eligible to be selected in the 2023 AFLW Draft which will be held following the 2023 NAB AFLW Season.
Selection was based on the number of nominations provided by AFLW recruiters, with all 18 clubs submitting a list of preferred attendees.
From the Jets, Tamara Henry, Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner and Kiera Whiley were all invited.
Darley Devils product Henry had a great season, kicking seven goals, eight behinds from her 11 matches. She also averaged 12 disposals, almost five tackles and 2.5 inside 50s.
