AT THE end of each 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Season Round, the AFL Media editorial team will nominate three marks for public voting for the weekly Woolworths Mark of the Year.
In a change that came into effect for the 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, footy fans will become the eleventh member of the AFL All Australian selection panel who will determine the overall winner for the Woolworths Mark of the Year Award. Fans will be able to vote for their favourite mark of the year via AFL.com.au.
At the conclusion of the 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, the AFL All Australian selection panel will select the best three marks from a selection of 28 (the 23 weekly winners as voted by the footy fans, along with five other contenders). These marks will be selected based on a 5/4/3/2/1 vote given by each member of the selection committee.
The best three marks will then go to another vote to decide the winner of the 2018 Woolworths Mark of the Year with the fans pick considered as a single vote in addition to the ten person AFL All Australian selection panel voting.
The 2018 Woolworths Mark of the Year award winner will be announced at the 2018 Brownlow Medal Count. The player that wins the 2018 Woolworths Mark of the Year will receive $10,000.
All members of the public that vote and pick a weekly winner in the 2018 Woolworths Mark of the Year will go into the draw to win $10,000.
The Round One Woolworths Mark of the Year nominations are as follows:
- Bayley Fritsch (Melbourne)
Dee debutant shows plenty of courage going back with the flight.
- Alex Rance (Richmond)
Tiger champ times his leap perfectly to take a classic hanger.
- Jake Stringer (Essendon)
