The forward line is the glamour position in Australian football, home to the game's most famous and loved players.

The front six often grab the headlines with match-winning hauls and highlight-reel moments, providing the finishing touch that turns dominance into scoreboard pressure.

Forward groups signify a club's attacking identity, with elite sides boasting multifaceted attacks and rebuilding teams typically lacking the firepower to convert inside 50s effectively.

So, who claims the crown as the best attack in the AFL for 2025? Here's Zero Hanger's ranking, from 18th to first.

The Suns are rather one-dimensional compared to other clubs in the top-end of this list, but that won't shun their chances at a premiership in 2026.

Ben King led the way with 71 goals in 2025, followed by Ben Long's 45, as the Suns heavily relied on the pair's elite marking ability inside 50.

Outside of them, the X-factor capabilities of Bailey Humphrey and Ethan Read provided support as the club went on to make history in September.
