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.

5. Jeremy Cameronย
The Cats spearhead started the season so strongly he was flagged as the premier player in the competition and even had his name raised as a potential 100-goal season contender.
Cameron started the year with 33 goals from the opening eight rounds of the year, with his fiery start culminating with a 25-disposal and six-goal effort against Carlton.
The former Giant would also collect 22 touches and seven majors against Hawthorn in that run to closely rival Blues star Charlie Curnow for the Coleman Medal.
However, a quiet second half to the year would see Cameron finish the season with 53 goals from 20 games, with another seven-goal haul in Round 22 against Collingwood bringing his tally past 50 for the sixth time in his career.
