The AFL Army Award is a new honour for the 2007 season that recognises match day acts which demonstrate courage, initiative and teamwork.
The award aims to reward the one percent style plays such as game-breaking smothers, tackles and shepherds. Following each round, the three most influential acts are posted on afl.com.au and fans can log on and vote to determine the best act for the round.
At the end of the home and away season, the AFL All-Australian selection committee will shortlist the 22 weekly winning acts to six nominations which will then be voted on by the public via afl.com.au.
The All Australian selection committee will then endorse the winner.
The 2007 AFL Army Award winner will receive a $10,000 Army experience. The award will be officially presented at the 2007 Coca-Cola All Australian presentation dinner.
