Taranto also was prominent in Dreamtime at the 'G, kicking two goals and racking up 23 touches, as well as laying four tackles.

Round 11: ‘Even he can’t believe it’: Taranto’s insane GOTY contender

Tim Taranto is left stunned by his own brilliance after somehow squeezing through this ridiculous finish, putting his hand up for Goal of the Year.

Each week of the season, the two senior coaches vote on the best players in their respective match, giving 5-4-3-2-1. The maximum votes a player can get is 10 votes a week.

The overall league winner at the end of the season will be crowned the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year.
