LEADERBOARD
AFL 2025 Season - Coleman Medal Award Winner
# | Bet Options | Chance to Win | Trend |
---|---|---|---|
Implied Projected Winner Ben King | 30.77% | ||
Implied Projected Winner Jesse Hogan | 26.67% | ||
Implied Projected Winner Nick Larkey | 22.22% |
Jesse Hogan proved he is worth every penny of his salary at the GWS Giants, as he kicked an incredible 40 goals in 12 games this season, ranking him second on the goalkicking ladder, as of July 2025.
As mentioned, jaws dropped when he achieved a nine-goal haul in Round 4 against West Coast, placing him in serious contention for the Coleman Medal Award.
As Hogan appears in fine form and there are many months left in the season, there is a strong chance he will take home the honor later this year.
It would be the second time Hogan has accepted the award, as he won the 2024 Coleman Medal after scoring 77 goals last season.
Ben King is a Favorite
BEO betting odds are showing Ben King is the current favorite to win the Coleman Medal for the AFL 2025 season.
The talented forward is currently enjoying a strong season, as he has scored 38 goals in 14 games for the Gold Coast Suns.
As he has the skills to score a few big bags of goals in upcoming games, he has a good chance of adding his first Coleman Medal to his trophy cabinet this year.
Jeremy Cameron is Currently Leading
Jeremy Cameron might not have been everyone’s pick to receive the Coleman Medal at the start of the season, but he’s placed himself firmly in the running during recent games.
The 32-year-old is currently sitting at the top of the leaderboard, as he has scored 48 goals in 15 games for the Geelong Cats, as of July 2025.
It wouldn’t be the first time Cameron has accepted the prestigious award, as he received the Coleman Medal in 2019 for scoring 67 goals at the GWS Giants.
If he can retain the same form throughout the remainder of the season, he could follow in the footsteps of other two-time recipients of the Coleman Medal, such as Charlie Curnow (Carlton), Josh Kennedy (West Coast Eagles), Trevor Barker (St Kilda), and Jack Collins (Footscray).
Of course, another footie player could score a big bag of goals before the season is over, such as Nick Larkey, Josh Treacy, Charlie Curnow, or Riley Thilthorpe, to name a few.
The recipient of the Coleman Medal for the 2025 AFL season is expected to be announced following the conclusion of the home-and-away season round on August 23, 2025.
The player with the most goals at the end of the round will be presented with the medal during the Grand Final Week, which will likely occur during the AFL Brownlow Medal ceremony.
