BLUES fans have two players in the running for the AFL Goal of the Year this week, with Brendan Fevola and Darren Pfeiffer both shining with brilliant goals against Fremantle.

Fevola’s goal came in the second quarter and had Blues fans on their feet when he fended of Luke McPharlin to kick a soccer style goal whilst falling to the ground.

Pfeiffer earned his nomination late in the fourth quarter when the game was in the balance. He skilfully collected the loose ball, threw it onto his boot and snapped a sensational goal from the boundary.

Carlton fans can view and vote for their favourite goal at www.afl.com.au/markgoal.  Voting is open from the Monday after each round through to the following Sunday night.


In 2008, the winners of the AFL Mark and Goal of the Year awards will each receive:

- 5,000 for their grassroots club
- A crystal replica of the official perpetual AFL Mark & Goal of the Year trophies
- The Alex Jesaulenko Medal (mark) and Phil Manassa Medal (goal)

At the end of the home and away season, the AFL All-Australian Selection Committee will decide the overall winner from the 22 weekly winners.

The awards will be the presented during 2008 AFL Grand Final week.
