Who will lead your club's goal kicking in 2025? Brad Johnson has gone through all 18 teams and made his predictions for the upcoming season on SEN's The Run Home!

See them all below:

ADELAIDE club banner

Darcy Fogarty

“Darcy Fogarty was the one last year in 2024 and I think it’s him again. I think it’s 50+ in 2025. Izak Rankine is the one who might challenge him.”

BRISBANE club banner

Charlie Cameron – but maybe Logan Morris

“Who steps up to replace Joe Daniher? Charlie Cameron was second and Kai Lohmann was actually third. Eric Hipwood plays a little bit higher up the ground. Is Logan Morris the one to stand up in 2025 and lead the goal kicking for the Lions? Can he kick 45 goals? That’s what he’d need to overtake Charlie Cameron.”

Charlie Curnow

“For the Blues to seriously challenge, does Harry McKay have to be their leading goal kicker with Charlie playing higher up the ground? Will they combine for 100 goals this year?”

COLLINGWOOD club banner

Dan McStay

“Bobby Hill led the way in 2024 with 30 goals. I’m leaning towards the talls. I think to be really successful you need your key forwards to kick 45+ goals. Is Dan McStay the one to be able to do that? Mihocek probably not.”

Kyle Langford

“Langford led the way last year. Nate Caddy’s not there yet, though I think he can in the future. Peter Wright was in and out of form. You’d like someone to challenge Langford.”

FREMANTLE club banner

Josh Treacy

“Last year it was Josh Treacy with 45 goals. He’ll lead the way again, I can’t see anyone challenging him at Freo.”

GEELONG club banner

Jeremy Cameron

“At the Cats it is Jeremy Cameron. I can’t see that changing in 2025. He’s the only one in the competition who I think can get close to 100 goals. And maybe Jesse Hogan.”

GOLD COAST club banner

Ben King

“I think he leads the way again. Jed Walter, you’d like to see him get into the 20s or 30s goals-wise.”

GWS GIANTS club banner

Jesse Hogan

“As we mentioned it’s going to be him again. I wouldn’t be surprised if Toby Greene has one out of the box though.”

HAWTHORN club banner

James Sicily

“This is an interesting one. Mabior Chol led the way with 37 in 2024. Who is it in 2025? They recruited Tom Barrass and Josh Battle – could James Sicily be their leading goal kicker?”

MELBOURNE club banner

Jacob Van Rooyen

“Bayley Fritsch kicked 41 last year – I think it’s on Jacob Van Rooyen now. He’s gone 28, 30. He needs to stand up and become the club’s number one goal kicker in 2025. I’m putting him down for 45.”

NORTH MELBOURNE club banner

Nick Larkey

“Larkey again, that won’t change, he’s a star. The introduction of Jack Darling may assist Larkey to get him back into the 60s.”

PORT ADELAIDE club banner

Mitch Georgiades

“Last year it was Mitch Georgiades. He kicked 44 last year. I think it’ll be him again. I think he’ll build consistency and get to near 50 again.”

RICHMOND club banner

Tom Lynch

“Let’s get Tom Lynch back up. Let’s get him on the park and kicking a bag for the Tigers. They need him to fire.”

ST KILDA club banner

Max King

“For the Saints, Max King. Jack Higgins led the way last year. Could Mitch Owens or Cooper Sharman do it?”

SYDNEY club banner

Logan McDonald

“Sydney is interesting because they’ve got Joel Amartey, Will Hayward, Logan McDonald… I think it will be one of the talls and I’d like to see McDonald lead the way.”

WEST COAST club banner

Jake Waterman

“Waterman had a big year last year, Oscar Allen has been injured a lot, but will try to take the mantle back from Waterman.”

WESTERN BULLDOGS club banner

Aaron Naughton

“Jamarra Ugle-Hagan led the way last year, likely not to play early in the season. Sam Darcy was second and Aaron Naughton third. I think Naughton is the one. Darcy’s numbers were great. Naughton needs to get himself into the 50s.”
