North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos forward Alice O'Loughlin has been nominated for the AFLW Goal of the Year following the Round 3 clash with Adelaide on Saturday.

In her first game of the season, the 20-year-old gathered the ball from off the deck, span around an Adelaide defender and slotted a right foot snap under pressure to score North's opening goal.

The GOTY contender was soon followed by a Vikki Wall debut goal which put the team in the box seat, before the Crows began to gradually take control of the contest after quarter time.

O'Loughlin finished the afternoon with eight disposals, two tackles and two marks along with the goal.
