Eddie Betts is among this week’s nominees for the AFL Goal of the Year for Round Eight.
Betts nailed another trademark goal from the boundary line midway through the third quarter of Adelaide’s clash with Greater Western Sydney at Spotless Stadium.
The elusive forward gathered a loose ball out of a stoppage at full pace before setting sail from just inside the 50m arc. His kick initially looked wayward, but worked back beautifully through the big sticks.
It was one of three goals for Betts against the Giants as his continues his rich vein of form in Season 2015.

Eddie won last week’s nomination for the AFL Mark of the Year for his huge hanger in the goalsquare at Adelaide Oval.
It’s the third time this season that Betts has been nominated for the Goal of the Year award, but he is yet to win the weekly vote.
Midfielders Patrick Dangerfield (Round One) and Scott Thompson (Round Five) have also been nominated this year but also failed to progress into the major draw.
