Executive offi cer Army AFL COL Damian
Hill said the carnival, now in its fi fth
year, was an important part of the selection
process for Army’s national teams.
They will compete against the other services
in Melbourne during March 2018.
“Army has men and women playing, coaching
and offi ciating at elite levels across Australia,
whether it be in the AFLW, NEAFL or other
State level competitions,” COL Hill said.
“This carnival is about fi nding the next
generation of ‘soldier athletes’,” he said.
“From the quality of play I saw during the week,
we will continue to be well represented in 2018.
“Army’s coaches have a tough job ahead of them
selecting teams and the footage taken will support
those soldiers seeking selection to elite clubs.”
