STUNNING goals from forwards Lance Franklin and Michael Osborne in last Friday night's qualifying final over the Western Bulldogs have them in the running for the Toyota AFL Goal of the Year.
It was in the second term that Franklin cut off a handpass from Dogs defender Brian Lake, stepped inside Tim Callan and snapped a bouncing goal that was seen through by teammate Jarryd Roughead.
Osborne's goal came when the ball was released by Roughead deep in the pocket. He broke away from Dog Ryan Hargrave, pushed through a tackle from Callan and pumped the goal through on the line.
Voting closes on Sunday night and can be done here.
In 2008, the winner of the Toyota AFL Goal of the Year award will receive:
- The use of a TRD Aurion for 12 months, presented by Toyota
- $5000 for their grassroots club, presented by Toyota
- A crystal replica of the official perpetual Toyota AFL Mark of the Year trophy
- The Phil Manassa Medal
After the 22 rounds of the Toyota AFL Premiership Season, the AFL All-Australian selection committee will decide the overall winner from the weekly winners.
The award will be the presented during 2008 Toyota AFL Grand Final week.
