AFL 2025 Season: Will Charlie Curnow Win the Coleman Medal for a Third Time?
Every Australian Football League (AFL) player dreams of the day they receive the Coleman Medal, but only a handful of stars will manage to do so.
It is annually awarded to the AFL player who scores the most goals during the home-and-away season, meaning there will be much competition each year.
As Charlie Curnow won the honor over two consecutive seasons in 2022 and 2023, many Carlton Football Club players hope he’ll win the accolade this year, but he faces stiff competition from top players.

Hopes were high for Charlie Curnow to win the Coleman Medal ahead of the 2025 AFL season, as he’s often the top goalkicker at Carlton and has won the award twice.
Many players often struggle to defend against him during a game due to his power, versatility, and athleticism, which help him score multiple goals each season.
However, he’s struggled to match other top players on the goal-kicking leaderboard during the 2025 home-and-away season, suggesting he’s an underdog for the Coleman Medal.
Also, a recent knee injury may pose a threat to the remainder of his season, meaning he might need to wait to add a third Coleman Medal to his award cabinet.
If Charlie Curnow wins the accolade this year or another, he will join the following elite players who have won the Coleman Medal three times: Gary Ablett Sr., Matthew Lloyd, Jack Liewodlt, Jason Dunstall, and John Peck.
Ben King is Tipped to Win
BEO Betting odds are showing Ben King is expected to win, as he’s sitting high at the goalkicking leaderboard with 57 goals for the Gold Coast Suns this season.
The 25-year-old has the skills to score multiple goals during a game. For instance, he recently scored an incredible six goals from nine disposals, proving he should never be underestimated on the field.
Many believe coach Damien Hardwick has helped bring out the best in King this season, as his attacking style of play has led to King scoring a career best of 2.5 goals per game.
As a result, the Suns are edging closer to the AFL Finals series. If the team manages to do so, there would be no question that Ben King would be a worthy recipient of the honor.
Another Player Could Win the Coleman Medal
Of course, there is no guarantee the Coleman Medal will go to Ben King, as he is up against some tough competition in the 2025 home-and-away season.
For example, Jeremy Cameron, who won the Coleman Medal in 2019, is sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard for Geelong and poses the biggest threat to Ben King this year.
Also, another top player could score many goals and accept the honor before the season ends on August 27, 2025, such as Greater Western Sydney’s Jesse Hogan, Western Bulldogs’ Aaron Naughton, and Fremantle’s Josh Treacy, to name a few.
Keep a close eye on your favorite players by watching various AFL games on Fox Footy & Kayo Sports in Australia. Also, some may air on the Seven Network, or you can stream it live on 7plus.
If you believe Charlie Curnow will receive the Coleman Medal Award for the 2025 AFL season, you could win $700 by betting $100 if it happens.
