SIX Geelong Falcons will have the chance to impress recruiters after scoring invites to the AFLW Draft Combine.
Best-and-fairest Tess Craven, vice-captain Poppy Schaap, forward/ruck Gabbi Featherston, defenders Lizzy Dowling and Annie Lee, and midfielder Ingrid Houtsma are among 35 Victorian invitees.
The announcement of combine invites comes at the same time the AFLW Draft date is confirmed.
With the season to commence later this year, the draft has been brought forward to the night of July 27.

“We look forward to recognising and celebrating the many talented footballers who will be selected as part of the NAB AFLW Draft next month,” the AFL’s general manager of women’s football Nicole Livingstone said.
“What we’re seeing year on year is great talent coming through women’s football pathways across the country, and I can’t wait for football fans to witness the next generation of talent to impact the NAB AFLW competition.”
