Draft Combine results: Speedy mid boosts stocks with scorching time

BALL-WINNER Sam Philp has boosted his stocks by claiming top honours in the speed test at the NAB AFL Draft Combine.

The midfielder, who was overlooked for Vic Metro selection at this year's under-18 carnival, completed the 20-metre sprint in 2.867 seconds on Thursday.

It followed a consistent season for Philp, who has pushed himself into draft contention after averaging 19 disposals in the NAB League this season.

He beat out West Australian rebounder Ben Johnson (2.885 seconds) and Northern Territory talent Malcolm Rosas (2.924 seconds).

Johnson also placed in the top three of the standing vertical jump test, which was won by Vic Metro flyer Miles Bergman (77cm).

Bergman, now considered a top-20 chance on draft night, edged out Brady Rowles (73cm), but Rowles turned the tables in the running vertical jump. Rowles leapt 98cm – just short of the all-time record of 103cm – while Bergman was in second place with 90cm.

Likely top-five selection Hayden Young won the agility test as the only player who broke the eight-second barrier.

The Dandenong Stingrays half-back completed the test in 7.940 seconds, ahead of West Australian forward Elijah Taylor (8.005 seconds) and Victorian midfielder Thomson Dow (8.061 seconds).

A pair of Vic Country midfielders shared top billing in the Yo-Yo running test. The aerobic measure saw Jay Rantall and Cooper Stephens both reach level 21.8, with Gold Coast Academy prospect behind them at 21.6.

Rantall, a former high level basketballer at junior level, performed consistently this year as a midfielder for the Greater Western Victoria Rebels, while for Stephens it was an important showing having missed all of the season after his broken leg in April.

Some clubs view Stephens as a top-25 player in this year's crop despite the contested midfielder's long absence through injury.

Former basketballer smashes 2km time trial record by 14 seconds

Oct 4, 2019

FORMER basketballer Jay Rantall has set a new record at the NAB AFL Draft Combine in the 2km time trial.

The midfielder, who also shared the top honours in Thursday's Yo-Yo test, once again highlighted his elite endurance with the Combine-closing time trial.

He smashed the all-time record by competing the test in 5:50 minutes, well clear of the previous best of 6:04, which was set by Jacob Kennerley at last year's Combine.

Rantall was formerly a member of the Australian Institute of Sport's under-18 basketball team before focusing on his football with the Greater Western Victoria Rebels this year.

The AFL staggered the runners in groups based on their Yo-Yo results, with the final race including Rantall and also Finn Maginness, with the pair going head-to-head.

Maginness finished one second behind Rantall to complete a brilliant week of testing in front of recruiters.

He was one of three players to break the record, with South Australian runner Dylan Stephens also clocking a time of 6:01 minutes.

The midfielder, who has drawn comparisons to West Coast star Andrew Gaff, combined his elite aerobic time with a 20-metre sprint of 2.97 seconds to also boost his stocks at November's draft.

Stephens is a possible top-10 selection, with the left-footer enjoying a strong end to the year with Norwood.

The time trial was the final test of this year's national Combine and was run at Collingwood's Holden Centre in front of scouts from every club.


2km time trial results (min:sec)

Jay Rantall                5:50 minutes

Hugo Ralphsmith     6:12
