The AFL Army Award 2009

These are the Army's core values and what defines a great sports icon.

To celebrate these qualities, the Army is sponsoring the 2009 AFL Army Award. Three exceptional plays are selected each week by our expert team of AFL analysts and posted on this site every Tuesday after the weekend's games for you to vote for your favourite play. The player who you think best represents these skills in a single play during the home and away season will win.

Who could be a better ambassador for this award than former Kangaroos great Glenn Archer who has won the Robert Rose Award for Most Courageous Player six times in nine years. This is more than any other player!

These characteristics are not limited to the football field, if you think you possess these traits you should check out the array of Army careers available.

Army Club Award

Courage, initiative and teamwork are values the Australian Rules Football and the Army proudly share – on and off the field.

This year the AFL Army Award was set up to recognise the contribution made by exceptional players at a local club level.

All the clubs involved had a chance to win some fantastic prizes including sporting equipment to the value of $3,500, and a training session with Glenn Archer.
