American pair Jason Holmes and Mark Cisco, and Irishman Daniel Flynn have arrived in Melbourne ahead of next week's NAB AFL Draft Combine.
There they will show their athletic ability, as they have already done at international combines earlier this year.
But before that, five clubs have pushed for another look by asking one, two or all three of the prospects to train under their watch this week, with a focus on getting to know them better and to see their skills with the oval ball.
"The three guys are taking the opportunity to accept invitations to go out to clubs who are interested in getting a closer insight for some training and testing," AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan told AFL.com.au.
"The clubs are trying to establish their position around alternative talent."
Holmes and Cisco emerged as potential AFL prospects in April, when they tested at the combine in Los Angeles.
Along with fellow American Patrick Mitchell, the trio trained with the Sydney Swans mid-year in a bid to become international rookies at the club.
The Swans selected Mitchell, but interest remains in Cisco and Holmes who both come from multi-sport backgrounds, including basketball and American football.
Holmes is 203cm, and Cisco is sized at 207cm, with the AFL looking to America to recruit athletes who can play in key position roles or the ruck.
Flynn is being groomed as a running defender as the 19-year-old has explosive pace and power. He played for the European Legion against the AIS-AFL Academy team in Surrey in April.
With the international athletes falling under the free agency category, a club can sign a player immediately if it wants.
In between meeting clubs this week the athletes will work with the AIS-AFL Academy squads, which are in Melbourne for a camp.
