A young Whittlesea footballer has been nominated for the AFL Auskicker of the Year competition.

Harry, from South Morang AFL Auskick Centre in Doreen was announced as the round 19 nominee on Friday, July 22 during the Seven Network’s broadcast of the match between Richmond and Fremantle.

The NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year competition calls for registered participants from around the country to enter for the chance to become one of the weekly nominees. All you need to do is show NAB your skills and have fun.

Harry will have the ultimate experience at the 2022 Toyota AFL Grand Final where he will play NAB AFL Auskick on the ground and present a medal to a premiership player.

It only gets better for Harry, who now has the chance to be crowned the overall 2022 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year, which will be announced at the Brownlow medal.

The lucky 2022 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year winner will receive $5000 from NAB plus Geelong Cats captain, Joel Selwood, and AFLW star Katie Brennan will be the winner’s personal footy mentors in 2023.
