Davey's in the Army now

YOUNG Bomber Alwyn Davey is the 2007 AFL Army Award winner for round four.

It caps a remarkable week for the Essendon small forward, who has grabbed two nominations in the weekly 2007 Toyota AFL Goal of the Year Award for his efforts against Collingwood on Anzac Day.

Davey received 48 per cent of the public's votes for the award for his remarkable chase and tackle on St Kilda's James Gwilt that resulted in a crucial goal for the Bombers.

Football fans voted for Davey on afl.com.au.

Round five nominations for the 2007 AFL Army Award are:

1. Richmond’s Richard Tambling’s diving smother in the West Coast Eagles' forward 50 during the third quarter

2. Hawthorn’s Jordan Lewis’ diving spoil and second effort during the first quarter against the Western Bulldogs

3. Adelaide’s Robert Shirley’s great spoil moving back with the flight of the ball in the final minute of the game against Fremantle

The AFL Army Award is a new award for the 2007 season that recognises match day acts which demonstrate courage, initiative and teamwork.

The award aims to recognise and reward the one percent style acts 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 decide the best act for the round just played.

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.
