2012 Nicky Winmar Football Carnival

NOMINATIONS INVITED FOR NICKY WINMAR CARNIVAL

Background of Teams for Nicky Winmar Carnival:

Previous NWC teams were made up of players from various areas of WA with not specific boundaries. The 2012 NWC teams will enter teams made up from the relevant WAFL football zones. This will allow the clubs to identify footballers from their zones and hopefully some of these players will be put into development squads and/or linked with local clubs within the various districts if they are not in the football pathways.

The carnival will be held at Bendigo bank Stadium, Mandurah

Saturday 18 February 3pm - 8pm
