There will be plenty of Victorian talent on show at the 2021 NAB AFL Draft Combines, as the game’s best young players strut their stuff across a multitude of disciplines in an effort to impress AFL clubs.

While the current situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic sees variations in restrictions across the country, the annual NAB AFL Draft Combines will be state-based combines in 2021.

A total of 120 players will participate in the 2021 NAB AFL Draft Combines, with the remaining 30 players invited by the end of September.

Victoria will be well represented at the combine, with 41 players from both the Metro (22) and Country (19) regions making up the initial 90 players nominated.

The Victorian representatives hail from a variety of locations across the state, and their inclusion in the combine shows the importance of community football as a foundation for football development.
