The Age newspaper reported earlier this week that the AFL will launch the competition's first US-based draft combine during August, 2012 in a bid to lure more tall young North Americans into the game as ruckmen.
The draft camp will be held over two days in either Los Angeles, Chicago or Texas.
The experiment follows the success of Canadian-born ruckman Pyke and the Swans' recent signing of 22-year-old US college basketballer Alex Starling. The Florida-based Starling will be rookie-listed by Sydney in 2013 under the international scheme.

The OC Bombers hosted the LA Dragons on Saturday, July 7 in Irvine, and recorded a comfortable 41 point win. It was a tight contest for three quarters before the Bombers pulled away in the last quarter. Some inaccuracy in front of goal stopped OC from posting a much bigger win, having 12 scoring shots to 1 in the last quarter but only gaining a 21 point advantage as a result. The small field meant a lot of congested play, but the Bombers will need to improve in front of goal going forward.

No pads. No helmets. No problem.
Australia Rules Football, or “footy” as it is more commonly referred to, is a game that’s been played for more than 150 years in Australia and has found a welcoming home in Nashville and other cities across the United States.
The Nashville Kangaroos are one of the six founding teams of the United States Australian Football League in 1997. Fifteen years later, the league has grown to 44 teams nationwide.
