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.

It's not hard to see just how poor West Coast's front six were in 2025. The club ranked 17th in points scored, while their leading goalkicker, Jamie Cripps, kicked just 24 goals.
That's the fewest goals for a leading goalkicker since Christian Petracca led the five-win Demons with 22 goals in 2019.
The Eagles also had the worst goalkicking accuracy in the competition at a measly 43.8 per cent, while booting a major from just 19.7 per cent of their already limited inside 50 entries.
