THE RACE for the AFLW Coles Goal of the Year and Virgin Australia Mark of the Year is down to six after the finalists for both awards were confirmed.

Collingwood's Ruby Schleicher, Gold Coast's Lucy Single and Geelong star Georgie Prespakis are the three Goal of the Year finalists.

Schleicher earned her nomination for her round four effort against Carlton, where she took a mark on the wing before steaming towards goal, taking three bounced before booting the goal from 40m.

Single's goal came in the QClash against Brisbane in round eight, when she swept up a loose ball, fended off Lion Sophie Conway and after running 10m, drilled her shot from 35m pressed hard up against the right boundary line.

Prespakis rounds out the contenders with her long-bomb against Fremantle in round 11. After running all the way from defence, Prespakis received the handball just outside the 50m and drilled it home.
