Small forwards, spearheads and half forwards. There are plenty of attacking options in the 2025 AFL Draft.

Bolter Sullivan Robey is most at home in the forward line, while Aidan Schubert is widely seen as the best key forward in the crop.

Here's our top 10 forwards from the 2025 draft class.

4Lachy Dovaston

Has been viewed for much of 2025 as the leading small forward in the crop and has doubled down on his defensive pressure and ability to impact in the midfield, which has rounded off his game nicely.

A goalsneak who is most dangerous at the foot of a marking contest where he can pounce on the loose ball, the Nick Watson 2.0 tag has followed Dovaston for much of the season, and he continues to produce entertaining moments that the Hawthorn emerging talent would be proud of.

Will fall somewhere between 10-20.
