Aim to throw a log (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goal

'aim' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'throw a log' is the wordplay.
'throw' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'log'='alog'
'alog' with letters rearranged gives 'GOAL'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for goal that I've seen before include "Aim - two posts, a crossbar and a net" , "Aim (at football)" , "End" , "Soccer achievement" , "Objective, purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
