In the fourth and final instalment of our 2023 AFL position rankings, we've named the top ten forwards of the year.

It was an interrupted season for many key forwards, with the likes of Tom Lynch, Mitch Lewis and Max King all dealing with injury setbacks to see their campaigns limited.

Nevertheless, their absences came as new premier forwards emerged to the fore, with a number of attackers enjoying career-best seasons in 2023.

Between the dominant tall forwards or the threatening smalls, a number of new faces are sure to appear in this year's rankings.

6. Charlie Cameronย 

The Lions livewire kicked 59 goals in 2023 to sit sixth in the competition, while his tally of 44 tackles inside 50 would be good for second as Cameron continued to cause headaches for the opposition on both sides of possession.

The Brisbane small forward enjoyed a dominant three-week spell against Collingwood, North Melbourne and GWS between Rounds 4-6 to kick 17 goals and find some of the best form of his career, while he went at two goals per game across the finals - including three in the season decider.

Cameron's lightning pace, goal sense and forward pressure have him among the best small forwards the game has seen, with 2023 seeing the 29-year-old earn his second All-Australian selection.

A club leading goalkicker in the four years prior to 2023, Cameron still managed to have a resounding impact despite Daniher's haul of 61 goals and a further 41 to Eric Hipwood.
