Full-forward is a position in Australian rules football and Gaelic football with a key focus on kicking goals.
Leading full-forwards of the Australian Football League are usually among those awarded with the Coleman Medal for the most goals in an AFL season.
In modern Australian rules football, in which players do not strictly stick to a single position, the Full Forward is often referred to as a "Key Forward" and can often switch positions with the centre half-forward for "team balance" reasons.
