Essendon star Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti has received two, that’s right, nominations for the Coates Hire Goal of the Year after his stunning performance in the Bombers’ defeat of North Melbourne on Saturday.

McDonald-Tipungwuti was instrumental in the five-point win at Marvel Stadium and two of his four goals have been recognised.

The first was the sensational forward’s snapping goal in the third term, using his mind-boggling evasive skills after gathering the ball deep in the forward 50 to beat four would-be tacklers and snap truly.

The second was his stunning game-winning goal, a snap again – this time on a much tighter angle – that saw him thread the needle to reclaim the lead with just 20 seconds remaining in the enthralling contest.

His single opponent among this week’s nominations is Richmond’s Sydney Stack, and you can vote for McDonald-Tipungwuti below to keep him in the running for the award.
