Hemmed tightly into the forward pocket and under pressure, Atley unfurled a right-foot checkside to bend the ball back over the goal umpire’s head, setting North on the way to a heavy victory.

Betts (2015) and Franklin (2013) are already prior winners of the competition.

The Goal of the Year finalists were selected by the All Australian selection panel from the fans' weekly winners.

Chaired by AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan, the panel consists of Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Mark Evans, Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea.
