Potential No.1 pick Nina Morrison has nominated for the Geelong region in this month's NAB AFL Women's Draft.



Having already played for the Geelong Falcons (in the under-18 TAC Cup competition) and Geelong's VFLW side this year, the nomination almost guarantees Morrison will be in the blue and white hoops in 2019.



Players entering the draft have the choice of nominating the state in which they wish to play in, with the short season (around four months including pre-season training) creating significant challenges for those who might have to move interstate.



With the introduction of Geelong for the 2019 season, the AFL created three Victorian zones for players to choose from: Victoria (Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs), Melbourne metro (five teams except the Cats) and Geelong, which Morrison has selected.



Morrison performed strongly in Wednesday's physical testing component of the NAB AFL Women's Draft Combine, setting a new record of 18.2 in the Yo-Yo endurance test, smashing Bridie Kennedy's 2017 Combine record of 17.3. The Blues drafted Kennedy last year.



Morrison, a midfielder/winger, had an incredibly strong junior year after picking up the game at the end of 2016. She was equal-first in the TAC Cup best and fairest (with Maddie Prespakis), was named Vic Country's MVP in the NAB AFLW Under-18 Championships, and co-player of the carnival (also with Prespakis).



Prespakis won't be joining Morrison at Kardinia Park next year, having nominated for the Melbourne metro draft zone.



The draft will be held on October 23 at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne.
