The dashing half-back-winger from South Warrnambool is part of a 48-player squad featuring the best under-17 talent across the country, which will then be split into two squads named after retired AFL champions Bachar Houli and Marc Murphy after a training camp ahead of the match.

The Emmanuel College student - who has enjoyed a strong season with the GWV Rebels in the NAB League - is renowned for his line-breaking dash and excellent field kicking skills.

He is tied to the Western Bulldogs Next Generation Academy and has played one senior game for the Roosters this season in the Hampden league, named in the best against Koroit in round 13.

GWV Rebels coach David Loader said the club was delighted to see the 'exciting' talent get another opportunity to impress in front of recruiters.

"He's a very talented player, a really great work rate and a clever kid who quickly picks up exactly what we're trying to coach and put it into action," he said.

"It's a pretty good mix - he's physically talented but able to put information into performances on the field. He's had a great year, he's put in some really strong performances with us so we're rapt he gets to play in that game."

Loader said the emerging draft prospect had improved rapidly this season.

"He's been able to adjust to the speed of the game, that's been one of the big areas (of improvement)," he said.

"Kids, when they first come in usually get caught on their heels and are unable to adjust to the speed of the game, those are the common things with a lot of players, but Luamon has been able to jump in and get to a high level really quickly. It's been really pleasing."

The first bounce will be at 9.30am, with the match to be live streamed at AFL.com.au.
