FATHER-son prospect Ben Jarman is the early standout at the NAB AFL Draft Combine, finishing in the top 10 for all of the skills testing.
The South Australian midfielder, who can join Adelaide and Hawthorn as a father-son pick given his dad Darren's career at both clubs, was one of three joint winners in the clean hands test on Friday night at Etihad Stadium.
Alongside classy midfielder Oliver Florent and defender Ryan Garthwaite, Jarman scored 28 of a possible 30 points in the clean hands exercise, which sees prospects having to gather the ball at ground level before shooting off handballs at different distances.
Jarman, who told AFL.com.au this week he was undecided about which club he would nominate as his preferred home at next month's draft, was also in the top performers in the kicking test.
Rangey Oakleigh Chargers defender Jordan Ridley, who scored 27 out of a possible 30 points, took out that event. Medium defender Isaac Cumming was also impressive in this test, recording 26 points to be outright second.
Cumming is another Greater Western Sydney academy prospect having played with the Giants in the NEAFL, while Ridley's versatility and athleticism has won admirers as a possible top-30 pick.
West Australian midfielder Sam Powell-Pepper was the only player to convert all of his five shots in the goalkicking test to record a perfect score.
Possible top-10 pick Tim English showed his skills for a 204cm ruckman by being one of eight players to kick four goals and a behind, while Jarman kicked four of his five shots and didn't score on the other.
The skills tests followed a long day for the attending players at the combine on Friday, which featured interviews with clubs from early in the morning until dinner time.
Athletic testing begins on Saturday with the jumping, sprints and agility tests before the beep test in the afternoon.
