Victorian Results:

Alex Goodingham and Jake Hall both cracked the 15 in the beep test.

Justin Van Unen had shoe dramas during his beep test, his shoe coming off, led to all sorts of drama, and effectively shot his beep test but he got a fair way through (into the 12s I reckon).

Murray ruckman Andrew Browne ran the worst beep in the 11s.

Amazing how quickly some guys hoisted the white flag, going from cruising to stuffed within such a short time. The pain barrier for some isn't great. Alternatively seeing how determined some guys are to keep pushing despite clearly struggling. Angus Lapin from Melbourne Grammar was clearly struggling in the 10s, but pushed and pushed to get 12.6 which was good. When you see white faces and guys who look pretty close to spewing at the end, it makes you realise what a punishing exercise the beep test is.

Dont know the sprint times, although a few dinosaurs graced the sprint course!! Amongst the fastest were Steven Gaertner and Luke Rounds.

Fair to say the VIS who did the testing underestimated the height a few of the AFL boys could jump. Zachary Clarke and Jayden Post I think both well cleared the top of the measuring equipment so there were plenty of adjustments and extensions of the equipment going on.

Little wonder some guys have injury issues when they get into the AFL, some of the guys are so big for 17 or 18 years of age. Suppose they're smashing the weights from 16 years of age.


West Australian results"

T.Lee: plays footy for scotch and clarmont colts. He isnt anything special with football he is jsut a fairly good athlete and tall. wouldnt even be in scotchs best 3 players. He performed well at the screenings, got like 2.95 for 20 metre sprint did a good leap but didnt get a measurment. Got like 8.47 for agility i think and did about a low 13 beep.

W.Benjamin: has done an 2.69 for 20 metre sprint and today got 2.82 and 2.78. He wasnt even like a top sprinter at his school Hale last year wasnt even like top 4 for Hale in 100m. He is full of power though and his beep test was very disappointing luck he got 12.9 but he should of been pulled out around 12.2. Agility also got about 8.4 - 8.5 and did a great vertical leap. He was massivily built hes got the biggest arms ive seen. was the standout of the state screenings.

A.Cockie: wasnt anything special got 12.11 beep. missed a vertical leap when he didnt jump and said F***. Didnt seem to take it seriousily and was saying hello to everyone.

K.King: 20 metre sprint got 3.10 i think was his best and also did a 13.10 in the beep.

J.Laurie: Did well in everything was quick, agile, good leap and got 15.1 or 15.2 in beep (best of WA), well built kid should get drafted.

Jamie Bennel (swans) : pretty sure it was him couldn't see johnny bennell. He got 2.94 for 20 metre sprint and had to adjust the vertical leap even higher for him as he jumped over the top in the running vertical leap.
