WINNER ANNOUNCED – INAUGURAL ARMY/AFL AWARD
18 September 2007
The winner of the inaugural AFL/Army Award was announced at a gala event in Melbourne last night.
Lieutenant General Peter Leahy, Chief of the Army, presented the award at the AFL All-Australian Awards dinner.
“I’m pleased to announce that Alwyn Davey from Essendon has become the first winner of the AFL/ARMY Award,” LT GEN Leahy said.
“Alwyn was selected by football fans who voted on the AFL web site each week. Fans were asked to examine three acts performed by players in each round and to nominate the act they felt best displayed Army’s core values of courage, initiative and teamwork.
“This award is designed to recognise the player who has totally committed himself to his club and his team mates,” he said.
“The Army takes this type of selfless commitment and adherence to core values seriously, for without them we could not succeed on the battlefield – similar to what we see on the AFL field.
“I congratulate Alwyn for his efforts and am proud to present him tonight with a medallion and a $10,000 travel voucher. We’re also inviting him to be a guest of the Army at the School of Armour at Puckapunyal where he’ll have an experience that money can’t buy,” LT GEN Leahy said.
