  • 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).

  • Sas Resources Fund History 1996-2016
    SPECIAL AIR SERVICE RESOURCES FUND 5 SAS RESOURCES FUND HISTORY 1996-2016 November 2016 SPECIAL AIR SERVICE RESOURCES FUND 6 FOREWORD If there was one single glimmer of light to emerge from the ashes of the 1996 Blackhawk disaster, it would certainly be the creation of the Special Air Service Resources Fund. While the unit was understandably reeling from its worst ever loss, and rightfully focused on rebuilding the short notice Counter Terrorism capability that Australia relies upon it to provide, a selfless group of individuals coalesced, unprompted, and set about creating this amazing institution. In doing so, they reacted swiftly, decisively and generously; and have continued to ever since. The 20 years since the Blackhawk tragedy represents about a “generation” within the Special Air Service Regiment; the unit’s most senior soldiers today were young troopers or lance corporals back in 1996 when the accident occurred. Sadly, during that generation, almost every single member of the unit has experienced the loss of a friend in training or combat. But on each occasion, in the midst of their grief, our men and women have also seen the Fund immediately step into action. As a result, we have witnessed the children of our fallen mates grow up, being cared for by the Fund. No one can replace a lost father or husband but through its financial support and empathy, the Fund provides a backbone of solace in this darkest of situations. By virtue of this fact, every time our soldiers step forward into the breach, they do so confident in the knowledge that should they fall in the service of this country, the Fund has their back, and will continue to take care of that which is most precious to them.
