The Medium Forwards group comprises 10 players who will attend the 2015 AFL Draft Combine in October at Etihad Stadium.

It includes three South Australians who have been invited to the meet in Melbourne. North Adelaide's Oleg Markov, Central District goalsneak Wayne Milera and Glenelg forward Mason Redman have all been selected to take part in October's Draft Combine.

AFL National and International Talent Manager Kevin Sheehan said Medium Forwards often boasted a unique skillset compared to other players.

“Medium Forwards like Hawthorn’s Luke Breust, who was selected as a Rookie or Sydney Swans’ Luke Parker, chosen in the Draft at selection number 40, are sometimes difficult to identify with their great ability to read the flow of play coming into the forward zone and off packs often uncanny," Sheehan said.

“Others such as Port Adelaide’s Chad Wingard had elite natural talent in most areas including overhead and around goals. It was no surprise he was then selected at number six in the Draft in 2011.”

A total of 82 players will attend the 2015 AFL Draft Combine in Melbourne at Etihad Stadium from Thursday October 8 to Sunday October 11.

State Combines will be held in Melbourne (October 11), Perth (October 18), Adelaide (October 19) and Sydney (October 26).
