Charlie Spargo, Ben Paton, Harry Jones and Jordan Butts will be among 83 players from around Australia taking part from October 3 to 6 at Etihad Stadium.
Spargo is rated a strong chance of being drafted despite being sidelined with a shoulder injury while Paton’s stocks soared after making the All-Australian side.
Paton and Butts represented Victoria Country in the recent national championships.
More than two thirds of the players will come from Victoria with only eight from South Australia and 10 from Western Australia.
The players will be split into eight groups based on their positions for the four days of testing, which will include two groups of medium midfielders and, for the first time in recent years, separate groups of tall forwards and ruckmen.
Meanwhile, the Murray Bushrangers will look to return to the winning list against 11th-placed Bendigo Pioneers at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Sunday.
