AFL Army Award

AFL Army Award

In 2007 the Australian Football League inaugurated the AFL Army Award to recognise players who produce act(s) of bravery or selflessness to promote the cause of his team during a game. This typically takes the form of a chase-and-tackle, completing the execution bump, shepherd or spoil despite impending heavy contact, a difficult assist on a goal, taking a mark running back with the flight of the ball, and so forth.

election process

Three nominees selected by a panel are put up for a public vote after each of the regular season rounds (currently 22). Each of the weekly winners are then considered by the panel (AFL All Australian Selection Committee) to produce a selection for the general public to vote in a winner. The winner of the vote does need to be endorsed by the previously mentioned panel. This is a similar system of deciding the winner as the Goal of the Year and Mark of the Year.
