AFL Combine All-Time Top-10 for Each Test

Since 1994 the AFL has conducted a draft camp combine in which prospective AFL players are put through a battery of fitness, physical and psychomotor tests (see List of Combine Tests). We have collated the top scores for the main fitness tests from 2002, and a few results from before that, and put them into a top-10 all-time list for each test.



This is not an official list, a complete list of all test results has not been seen, and therefore there is a possibility that there are test scores from before 2002 that could also be on the list, though we believe that all the top scores are here. See also a list of the best score for each year, and also the top 10 results lists from 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. There are also top-5 results from 2002, and selected results from 1997, 1999, 2000, and 2001.
