Part two of this series will look at the greatest teams in the modern era of AFL football.

While the AFL has only established in 1990, there are still numerous teams who can promote their argument for being the greatest team of all time.

Some of these teams dominated for a substantial period of time, without achieving the amount of success they ultimately deserved, while others can lay claim to winning consecutive premierships.

4. Geelong 2007-2011

It took one game to kick-start the Geelong dynasty.

In early 2007, Geelong coach Mark Thompson was under pressure to keep his job. The Cats sat sixth on the ladder and were going up against a winless Richmond. Anything other than a massive win would be seen as a failure for the Cats.

But what transpired in the Round 6 clash would have to be seen to be believed. Geelong kicked 20 goals in the opening half to lead by 107 points at half time. There was no end to the torture in the second half as Geelong ran away with a 157-point demolition.

The victory sparked a string of wins for the Cats, who lost only one more game for the season and went on to win the premiership by a record margin of 119 points against Port Adelaide.

It may have been hard to top, but somehow Geelong became even better in 2008. The Cats only lost one game during the home and away season and ended the campaign with an average winning margin of 53 points.

But inaccuracy in front of goal cost the Cats on Grand Final day and gave Hawthorn an underdog victory.

Redemption came a year later as the Cats beat St Kilda in a Grand Final classic.

Geelong’s success between 2007 to 2009 was largely due to the unique style of play. Teams of that area worked tirelessly on defence, but the Cats focussed on their attack and their rapid transition which allowed them to kick large scores.

Superstars Gary Ablett, Jimmy Bartel, Joel Selwood, Steve Johnson, Cameron Ling and Matthew Scarlett also helped the Cats achieve success.

At the end of 2010, Mark Thompson and Gary Ablett left the Cats, leaving many to assume the dynasty was over.

But a rejuvenated Geelong under the guidance of Chris Scott returned to the pinnacle of football by beating Collingwood in the 2011 Grand Final.
