3. Charlie Curnow

Carlton's rockstar full-forward and two-time Coleman medallist only has one thing left to prove - do it in September.

His lacklustre finals series was somewhat overshadowed by the Carlton story overall, clawing their way back from the dead halfway through the year to reach a preliminary final, thanks in large part to Curnow's 81-goal season.

He was the league's best contested marking player in 2023 and is also a popular candidate for the best field kick in the competition, especially when lacing out an inside 50 target about 70m out from goal.

Key forwards have struggled in recent times to maintain their home & away production in finals, presenting a challenge for the two-time Coleman medallist if and when the Blues reach September with premiership credentials in 2024.
