Here are a selection of fitness test results from the State Screening part of the 2013 AFL draft combine. In addition to the players that were tested in Melbourne, the next level of players are invited to attend a state combine event. The protocol used is slightly different, at the state screenings the players have just one day compared to the national combine where the tests were spread over several days, with much more time for recovery. Compare the results below to the top national draft camp results for 2013.
