JARED Brennan has been nominated for the AFL Army Award for his outstanding perseverance against Carlton on Sunday.
Brennan showed great determination when he ran hard for over 50 metres to apply a desperate lunging tackle on Simon Wiggins.
Lions fans can watch Brennan’s fantastic chase and vote for him at www.afl.com.au/armydefence/home.aspx.
New to the 2007 season, the Army Award aims to recognise and reward the ‘one-percenters’ such as game-breaking smothers, tackles and shepherds.
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.
In 2007, the 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.
