Peel Thunder's Bo Allan is in Melbourne today, one of 10 talented WA footballers invited to the AFL Draft Combine.

Fresh off a WAFL league premiership, the 18-year-old will take part in several physical tests in front of recruiters over three days.

This includes the vertical jump, running vertical jump, 20m sprint, agility test and 2km time trial along with club interviews and medical tests.

The Halls Head Football Club product is tipped to be the first in the state to be called out at this year's draft.

Allan said he is looking forward to being put to the test this weekend.

"I'm confident where I'm at and I'm happy with where I'm going...I'm a bit nervous for the 2km but I think my strengths will be the jumping and agility," he told 9NEWS.
