The combine is more of an AFL thing to keep the hype going. All the kids wear a GPS which the clubs have full access to so they know exactly endurance and speed capabilities. At best it is good reinforce what they already know.Does anyone think too much emphasis is placed on the combine results in discussions? I think one round of testing once for the year is not necessarily a true representation of a player's athletic ability. For example being held so close to the end of the season maybe some players are more fatigued than others or having played finals coming in to it with a niggle or two. I personally am vary wary of using these to discount players and put much more emphasis on what they've shown on the ground throughout the season.
