Hayden Ballantyne has been nominated for the Coates Hire Goal of the Year for his remarkable final quarter goal against GWS on Saturday at Spotless Stadium.

Ballantyne appeared trapped on the boundary line but dodged and weaved through the Giants' defence, combining with David Mundy to snap through a crucial late goal.

Port's Robbie Gray and West Coast's Mark LeCras are the other nominees for round 19.
