Canberra Demons forward Sam Fisher is "pretty happy" with the way he went at the AFL draft combine, but he'll still have a nerve-racking six-week wait until the draft.

Fisher got back from four days of testing and interviews in Melbourne on Sunday night and was one of three Canberrans who went away – Jordan Harper and Lucas Meline were invited to the one-day state combine in Melbourne on Sunday.
The 18-year-old felt he could have done better in the testing, but relished the chance to chat to the clubs.
While his grandfather played for Geelong, Fisher doesn't care where he ends up – he'll be "stoked" just as long as he is on an AFL list.
He will keep in shape during the next six weeks so he can hit the ground running if his name does get called out on draft night.
"It's obviously pretty stressful. We had a lot of testing to do so it was definitely pretty nerve-racking," Fisher said on Monday.
"I performed pretty average in some of that and I definitely think I could've performed a bit better, but I was pretty happy with how I went.
"That'll be a nerve-racking wait. I'll do a bit of running in the lead-up to [the draft]. If I get picked up I want to be fit and ready to go for the first day of pre-season.
"It'll definitely be very nerve-racking and there's no promises until the actual night, until you get your actual name read out."
While many young men might find talking to the clubs the worst part, Fisher loved the chance to chat with his potential future club – although he said they didn't give too much away about his chances.
Fisher will keep an eye on the AFL trade period during the next week and a half, just to see which clubs might need a small forward on their list.
"I found them the most exciting bits of the combines, chatting to the clubs, it was pretty surreal knowing that they were interested in you and talking to them and assessing yourself and where you're at was pretty exciting," he said.
"They don't give you much to be honest. It all depends on how clubs trade in the free agency right now and stuff like that. They don't give you any promises or anything, that's why it's pretty nerve-racking."
