WILL Minson is this week in the running for the Toyota AFL Mark of the Year for his spectacular mark during the third quarter and teammate Jason Akermanis has been nominated for the Toyota AFL Goal of the Year.

Minson held his ground to take a strong grab among a pack of players.

Akermanis ran onto the loose ball and kicked a sensational goal on his left during the first quarter of the preliminary final against Geelong.

Bulldog fans can view and vote for Minson’s mark and Aker’s goal at www.afl.com.au/markgoal. Voting is open from the Monday after each round through to the following Sunday night.

  • $5000 for their grassroots club, presented by Toyota
