... at least 4 players have broken Naitanui's standing vertical jump record (78cm). The American Eric Wallace was of course one of them with 80cm. But proving that white men can indeed jump was Dean Towers (85cm), Jesse Lonergan (83cm) and Spencer White (82cm).

A few tweets have come out about some of the SA kids...

20m Sprint
O'Brien - 2.93
Sumner - 2.98
Broomhead - 2.99
Irra - 3.03
Murdoch - 3.04
DeMatteis - 3.06
Baldasso - 3.07
Hannath - 3.07
Grundy - 3.10

Not sure what happened with DeMatteis there. He'd be one of the quicker players in the draft, I daresay if it was a 100m sprint then he would come out on top. Excellent time for the big forward O'Brien.

Agility
O'Brien - 8.30
Irra - 8.30
Murdoch - 8.48
Sumner - 8.55
Broomhead - 8.64
DeMatteis - 8.64
Baldasso - 8.70
Grundy - 8.88
Hannath - 8.98

As for the non South Australians, word is that Adam Saad and Jake Neade recorded the fastest 20m sprints with 2.81 seconds. While Dean Towers has continued on with his form, scoring a 2.89. With fellow North Ballarat Rebel, Lucas Herbert finishing at 2.96.

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2012-afl-draft-combine-news-and-invitees.965804/page-6#post-25921207

Repeat Sprints
Broomhead - 24.98 (6th fastest overall)
O'Brien - 25.19
DeMatteis - 25.35
Murdoch - 25.73
Irra - 25.73
Hannath - 25.83
Baldasso - 26.46

Just a few more results from the South Australians before the top 10 lists are published by the AFL website - which will feature Matthew Haynes at the top with a very quick 23.91.

Sam Colquhoun is not testing as he will be playing in the SANFL Reserves GF on the weekend.

Was Croad's an official record? I can't remember.
