FATHER-SONS Rome Burgoyne, Elwood Peckett, River Stevens and Louie Montgomery are among the 62 players invited to test at the state Telstra AFL Draft Combines.

Burgoyne (son of Port Adelaide champion Peter), Peckett (son of former Saint Justin), Stevens (son of North Melbourne's Anthony) and Montgomery (son of Port Adelaide's Brett) are part of a group of 37 players added to the first 25 players state Combine invitees who were announced last week.

All four players are eligible to join those clubs under father-son rules, while Tom Cochrane, the son of former North Melbourne and Port Adelaide's Stuart, has also been included in the list but will not qualify for father-son eligibility. Adelaide's father-son Tyler Welsh was included in the original 25 to be named earlier this month for state screening invites. 

The state Combines will be one-day events in Melbourne (Sunday, October 6), Adelaide (Saturday, October 12) and Perth (Sunday, October 13) and see the potential recruits partake in physical and athletic testing ahead of this year's Telstra AFL Draft.

Riak Andrew (brother of Gold Coast's Mac) and Luke Quaynor (brother of Collingwood's Isaac) are among the family ties in the group, too.
