POSSIBLE top-five pick Sam Weideman will be able to dispel concerns over his fitness at a private testing session less than a week before the NAB AFL Draft.
Weideman, who has not played since May due to an ankle fracture, will be one of four players to complete additional testing next Wednesday under the AFL's supervision.
Sydney Swans academy midfielder Callum Mills and potential father-son selections Josh Dunkley and Bailey Rice will also test at the closed session, which will be coordinated by AFL Academies high-performance manager James Veale.
Although clubs will not be allowed to attend the session, they will be provided results later that day in what could shape Weideman's chances of being selected in the first handful of choices.
The 196cm key forward will partake in the 20-metre sprint, agility and vertical jump tests, and also run the beep test.
Weideman has gradually built up his fitness levels and at last month's draft combine he did an individual running session in front of clubs.
But given recruiters have only limited testing results from him in the past due to the ankle concern, next week's session could prove vital as they weigh up where he sits on their draft boards.
Melbourne, Essendon, Gold Coast and Carlton are all considering Weideman with their top-10 draft choices.
A hamstring injury ruled out Mills from testing at the combine, after a frustrating season in which he was restricted to just three games due to shin and foot complaints.
The midfielder will do the 20-metre sprint, agility and vertical jump tests, with Dunkley also to complete those three tests next week.
Rice, who has nominated St Kilda ahead of Carlton as his preferred destination under the father-son bidding process, will run the beep test after sitting out that event and the 3km time trial at the combine.
The attacking half-back will also participate in the 20-metre sprint, agility and vertical jump tests.
The testing session will come on the same day club medicos run their eyes over 13 prospects in a final screening before the draft.
Clubs will be invited by the League to send a doctor and physio to the screening, where Weideman and fellow forward Ryan Burton will garner significant interest.
Burton has not played since last August after a severe leg break and knee injury, but tested at last month's combine and continues to step up his training.
Clubs are considering him with first-round selections given his talent as a marking half-forward, but must weigh that up against this long stint on the sidelines.
