The decade has been a tumultuous time for the Crows - a salary cap breach, the tragic passing of a coach and a grand final apprentice all wrapped up in a just a 10-year period.

During this time the Crows managed to unearth some champions, as well as some who fly under the radar but inevitably make major contributions to the team come game-day.

Zero Hanger takes a look at the top 10 players of the decade at the Adelaide Crows.

8. Scott Thompson

An absolute workhorse for the Crows, Thompson's ability to find the ball was astounding. A career spanning over 300 games, he averaged over 20 touches in every season with the Crows bar one - his final campaign. His best years came during the decade where he won two Malcolm Blight medals, and All-Australia jacket in 2012 and a Showdown medal in 2015.
