The AFL is pleased to announce Isaac Heeney from the Sydney Swans Football Club has been named as the winner of the 2018 Woolworths Mark of the Year Award.
Heeney was presented with his prize, $10,000 thanks to Woolworths, during tonight’s Brownlow Medal Count Ceremony at Crown Palladium, Melbourne.
Sydney’s Heeney took the Mark of the Year in Round 21 of the Toyota AFL Premiership Season in a match against Melbourne at the MCG.
Isaac Heeney won ahead of fellow finalists Charlie Cameron (Brisbane Lions – Round 9) and Michael Walters (Fremantle – Round 20).
Changes to the process to determine the top three, and therefore the overall winner, of the Woolworths Mark of the Year came into effect for the 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
After each round of the Toyota AFL Premiership Season, footy fans voted for their favourite weekly Woolworths Mark of the Year from a selection of three marks as nominated by the AFL.
In addition to the 23 weekly Woolworths Mark of the Year winners, the AFL chose an additional five marks from the season to be considered by the AFL All Australian committee in determining the season’s top three.
The AFL All Australian committee voted, and their results determined the top three marks of the 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Season out of the 28 in contention. These marks were selected based on a 5/4/3/2/1 vote given by each member of the selection committee.
The ten-person AFL All Australian committee consists of: Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Steve Hocking, Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Chris Johnson, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea.
The most popular fan choice will then become the eleventh vote when the AFL All Australian committee meets again to cast a single vote for the overall 2018 Woolworths Mark of the Year winner.
All members of the public that voted during the 23 rounds of the 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Season and for one of top three finalists and correctly selected a winner in the 2018 Woolworths Mark of the Year went into the draw to win the major prize draw of $10,000.
