POTENTIAL Geelong midfielder Nina Morrison has dominated the physical testing component of the NAB AFL Women’s Draft Combine, finishing in the top five in six tests.
The 18-year-old set combine records in the 2km time trial (7 minutes and 14 seconds) and the YoYo endurance test (reaching level 18.1).
The previous records (7:29 in the time trial and level 17.3 in the YoYo) were held by Bridie Kennedy, now a key position player for Carlton.
"That sort of endurance running is a big part of my game, so the YoYo test was one I wanted to do really well in. I was really happy with how I went," Morrison said.
On Tuesday, Morrison confirmed she has nominated for the Geelong portion of the Victorian draft pool and has already played for the club's VFLW side this year. The Cats hold the first two picks in the October 23 draft.
"[Potentially being the No.1 pick] is a weird thing to think about, but early in the year it's not something you take too seriously. You just push it to the back of the mind and focus on playing good footy.
"It's not something I'm too worried about. But if it happens, it happens, and it'd be exciting, I guess."
Morrison also finished third in the left-side running vertical jump, fourth in the agility test, equal fourth in the right-side running vertical jump and equal fifth in the standing vertical jump.
One other record was also set in Wednesday's physical testing.
Vic Metro winger Emerson Woods broke former Greater Western Sydney player Pippa Smyth's 20-metre sprint record of 3.24 seconds, covering the distance in 3.13 seconds.
