AFL Members have voted the Carlton - Kangaroos contest at Colonial Stadium last Sunday as the AFLMA Game of the Round for round 5. Notable for its intense football and hard clashes, the game saw the Kangaroos withstand a third quarter surge by the undermanned but valiant Blues, emerging victors by 19 points, 19.17 (131) to 17.10 (112).
The AFL Members Association commiserates with Carlton and congratulates the Kangaroos, whose exciting on-field exploits have earned them 4 nominations for Game of the Round already this year.
At the end of the season, all AFL Members will have the chance to vote online for the AFLMA Game of the Year from the 22 nominated Games of the Round.
A perpetual trophy is to be awarded to the two teams who played in the AFLMA Game of the Year.
Each week, AFL Members can log on to www.AFLMA.com to vote for their best Game of the Round. Members are also free to participate in an online forum, describing their favorite games and debating their choices. The AFLMA Game of the Round is announced the following Thursday.
