There was great excitement recently when Manor Lakes\u2019 own Samuel Glewis was nominated for the NAB AFL\u2019s 2019 Auskicker of the Year competition.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The young Western Bulldogs fan is in the running to receive a $5000 NAB Reward Saver Account and the chance to count Geelong FC Captain Joel Selwood and AFLW Co-captain Katie Brennan as his personal footy mentors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Samuel\u2019s dad Chris said the young footballer is tremendously excited by the opportunity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Samuel\u2019s first year at Manor Lakes Auskick and this nomination has truly confirmed his love of the game,\u201d explained Chris.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only does he sing the Western Bulldogs anthem from start to finish, he knows every other club song as well!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The competition\u2019s special awards dinner during Grand Final Week will signal the start of a very big week for seven year old Samuel and the 21 other nominees from around Australia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The group will march alongside their heroes at the Grand Final Parade and, come the big day, run out on field at half time to play in front of a massive MCG crowd.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After the game, the young athletes will gather on stage with other dignitaries to present premiership players with their medals.<\/p>\n
