Here are the top 10 goals of the 2019 season, as selected by the Zero Hanger team!

INCREDIBLE FROM NAUGHTON! #AFLDogsFreo pic.twitter.com/oG7bNRaRhz

There were plenty of soccer goals this year, but this one from Aaron Naughton pips the rest for best of the season.
9. Jaiden Stephenson, Round 9 vs St Kilda

Who knew that Stephensonโs year would continue to spiral long after this barrel stopped spinning. Nonetheless, it was a mean torp and a gamble that paid off.
8. Eddie Betts, Round 13 vs Richmond
Eddie Betts come on now!! You surely can't keep doing this kind of stuff! ๐ฒ#AFLCrowsTigers pic.twitter.com/gJcGsAsh3B

Pick a pocket, any pocket, Eddie can kick it from there. More to come.
7. Dylan Shiel, Round 18 vs Adelaide
Shiel, Stringer or Tex?

Dylan Shiel looking like a young Clark Kent streaming down the guts, hair blowing in the breeze. 60 meters out, no problems.
6. Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti, Round 17 vs North Melbourne
McDonald-Tipungwuti wins it! ๐ฑ
With just seconds left, Walla was the @Gatorade Game-Changer! #AFLDonsNorth pic.twitter.com/RWpNhvWXPa

Game on the line, wheeling to his right; Tippa, it just ainโt fair.
5. Brodie Smith, Round 23 vs Western Bulldogs
We've got a late @coateshire Goal of the Year contender!
Whether he meant it or not, that was incredible from Brodie Smith!#AFLDogsCrows pic.twitter.com/RFCdBj7wXP

โThatโs out of bounds!โ Scream all you like BT, but thatโs delicious. Brodie Smith decided to have a stab late in the piece and gets the nod at number five.
4. Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti, Round 3 vs Melbourne
MAGIC FROM WALLA! โจ#AFLDeesDons pic.twitter.com/U61ovwcftc

Mama, there goes that man. Tippa with the expert candy salesmanship, giving the Melbourne defenders the run-around.
3. Shane Savage, Round 8 vs West Coast
OH BOY THAT'S A BEAUTY FROM SHANE SAVAGE!#AFLSaintsEagles pic.twitter.com/wS7ulb7Jpg
— AFL (@AFL) May 11, 2019
Is it clear how highly we appreciate a sideline banana snap? VERY HIGHLY. Shane Savage gets in on the action here.
2. Lance Franklin, Round 2 vs Adelaide
BUDDY ๐ฅ#AFLSwansCrows #ProudlySydney pic.twitter.com/s37t6KOGt3

Seems like there is a delicious Buddy goal from the left wing every year. Not unlike wine, they get better with age. This 2019 vintage ranks second for all goals this year (and third on the all-time Buddy from the left wing list.)
1. Eddie Betts, Round 5 vs Gold Coast
Simply the Betts! #eddie300 #weflyasone pic.twitter.com/SKkFIAFXiu

Eddie Betts is one of two players to score six goals in his 300th match. Heโs also the only player on this list to have a goal from BOTH pockets.
