Of the 40, three were from the Western Jets.
From the Jets, Tamara Henry, Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner and Kiera Whiley were all invited.
Darley product Henry had a great season, kicking seven goals, eight behinds from her 11 matches. She also averaged 12 disposals, almost five tackles and 2.5 inside 50s.
Weston-Turner only played the five Jets matches due to injury, but has been part of the AFLW Academy. However, in those games she kicked four goals, averaged almost 13 disposals, 7.6 marks, 2.4 inside 50s and 3.4 tackles.
Whiley played 10 Jets games throughout the season, where she averaged almost 18 disposals, 6.7 tackles, 1.5 rebound 50s and three inside 50s.
All players invited to attend the combine are eligible to be selected in the 2023 AFLW draft which will be held following the 2023 NAB AFLW season.
