All Stars & Player Awards

The AFL Awards were first handed out following the 2001 season. There were 5 categories recognized at that time: League MVP, MVP Offence, MVP Defense, Outstanding Lineman, Outstanding Rookie. A 6th category, MVP Special Teams was added in 2002. The Outstanding Lineman Award was broken into 2 separate awards in 2004, one for Defensive Lineman and 1 for Offensive Lineman.

AFL LEAGUE AWARDS SELECTION PROCEDURE: Prior to the yearend conference call, each team will select 3 candidates for each award. These candidates will be ranked from 1st to 3rd. No team may select candidates from their own team. Rankings will be calculated during the year end conference call. The player with the most 1st place votes shall be declared the award winner.
