THE AFL has released the names of the 75 young hopefuls who will attend this year's NAB AFL Draft Camp, which gets under way at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra next week.

The camp is a key event in the lead-up to November's NAB AFL Draft, with the attendees given the opportunity to impress recruiters from the 16 AFL clubs as they are put through a series of interviews and tests.

Prospective top-three choices Nicholas Naitanui, Jack Watts and Daniel Rich will take part, as will tall forward Ayce Cordy who is likely to go to the Western Bulldogs as a father-son pick.

Victoria leads the state by state breakdown with 37 players invited followed by South Australia with 14, Western Australia with 13, Tasmania with five, the Northern Territory with three, New South Wales with two and one from Queensland.

The three-day camp kicks off on next Wednesday with fitness assessments and psychomotor tests which measure reaction time, decision-making and peripheral awareness.

Sprints, vertical leap and agility are tested on Thursday, with the dreaded beep test to be held at 5pm. The three-km time trial awaits on Friday morning, with a skills session to finish the camp later that afternoon.

The draft meeting will be held on Saturday November 29, and the camp is a pivotal part of the assessment process along with the NAB AFL U18 Championships and the TAC Cup.
