Warrack Eagles livewire Charlie Wilson and Horsham Demons premiership player Matt Lloyd were included on a list of 21 Vic Country players that will be tested at a state combine in October.
Greater Western Victoria talent manager Phil Partington said an invite to either the national or state combine was a great opportunity.
“Charlie has really impressed this season and has worked really hard – at the moment he is the leading goalkicker in the TAC Cup,” he said.
“Matt had an interrupted start to the season with his broken foot but has shown a lot of talent in his two seasons with us.
“Going to the combines is certainly a step in the right direction for these guys but it’s important for players to remember they can still get drafted without going to a combine.”
In order to be invited to a state combine at least two AFL clubs must have expressed interest in recruiting a player.
The Wimmera duo were two of three Rebels players invited to the state combine with 126 players in total invited to take part across the country.
