Two talented Tigers feature in the AFL’s Goal of the Year and Mark of the Year nominations for Round 1.
Reigning Goal of the Year winner Jack Higgings has positioned himself well to defend his 2018 title, while star forward Jack Riewoldt soared to Mark of the Year candidate in his 250th game.

Higgins once again showcased his knack for finding the big sticks, this time from the boundary at a tricky angle, off one step.
His goal came in the second quarter of Thursday night's Round 1 win over Carlton at the MCG, one of three snags by the second-year player.
Riewoldt's mark arrived in the third quarter of his milestone match.
Perfectly timing his grab from a clever Daniel Rioli snap, jumping Jack got the ride on Carlton key defender Liam Jones, flying high before landing on his feet then cooly converting.
