  • AFL Draft Combine Tests Information Sheet
    AFL Draft Combine Tests Information Sheet At the end of each year the AFL holds an event called the 'Draft Combine' where hopeful AFL players are put through a series of testing. These tests include medical screening, physical performance tests such as vertical jump test, 20m sprint test and a range psychological performance tests. Vertical Jump Test This test is used to evalute an athletes lower body power. Vertical jumping and lower body power is important in AFL when jumping for marks, jumping to spoil and particularly important in ruck contests. 20m Sprint Test The 20m sprint is a test of a players acceleration and speed. Both are very important in a game of AFL for breaking away from an opponent, getting open on a lead and bursting away from stoppages. AFL Agility Test This is a specific slalom-type agility test developed for AFL, which involves running in, out and around obstacles over roughly 40 meters in total. The ability to quickly change direction is very important for AFL to be able to get clear of an opponent, or move through congestion. Yo-Yo Test The Yo-Yo Test is used to test a players aerobic endurance. This is arguably the most important phyical ascpet of AFL as players will run up to 16-18km a game (dependant upon position). In AFL you need to be aerobically fit to perform well towards to end of quarters and at the end of a match, which can be the most critical part of a game.

  • Darren Glass
    Darren Glass Former captain West Coast Eagles, leadership speaker Darren Glass is a former Australian Rules footballer who was one of the West Coast Eagles all-time great players and was highly regarded for his leadership abilities during his playing career. He was a champion defender for the Eagles and played 270 games for the club during his 14-year career. Today, Darren is highly sought after and highly respected as a leadership speaker at corporate, government and sporting events. Originally from Western Australia, Darren began his career with Perth Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), before being recruited by West Coast Eagles with the 11th pick in the 1999 National Draft. He made his debut for the Club the following season in Round 4, 2000 against Adelaide. Playing mainly as a full back, Darren was named in the All-Australian team on four occasions (2006, 2007, 2011), and as Captain of the 2012 team. During his extensive career with the Eagles he played in a team of well-known stars including Chris Judd, Daniel Kerr and Ben Cousins. On 9 November 2007 Darren was announced as the new Captain of West Coast Eagles following the departure of Chris Judd who returned to Victoria. Darren was appointed to lead the recovery of the club after a series of off-field scandals. Darren was captain of West Coast Eagles for 129 matches and is widely acknowledged as an outstanding leader – with only his former coach, John Worsfold (138 games), leading the club into battle more often. After a successful season playing all 22 matches in 2009, Darren won his second Club Champion Award ahead of fellow defender Shannon Hurn.
