A big pack grab from Tom Boyd and some explosive work out of the middle from Jake Stringer in Friday night's win over Sydney have seen the two players earn round two nominations for the Woolworths Mark of the Year and the Coates Hire Goal of the Year.

The Bulldogs began the second half with a slender lead of only eight points and were looking to make an impact early in the third quarter when Luke Dahlhaus sent a long kick deep into the forward line.

With teammate Tom Campbell and Sydney's Aliir Aliir setting themselves for a marking duel, Boyd soared above the two of them and took a strong grab, both arms at full stretch. 

The spectacular grab brought the 42,000-strong Etihad Stadium crowd to its feet, and Boyd duly converted for a goal to give the Bulldogs a vital 14-point break.

Sydney was back within 10 points and threatening to snatch victory late in the final term of the match when Stringer received a handball from teammate Jack Macrae near the centre circle.

Using his explosive pace, Stringer burst clear of two chasing Swans and launched a long bomb that bisected the goalposts to give the Bulldogs the goal that virtually sealed the match. 

Sydney's Lance Franklin and Carlton's Matthew Wright also received Goal of the Year nominations, while Ben Griffiths of Richmond and Hawthorn's Paul Puopolo were the other round two nominations for Mark of the Year.
