Geelong's last 10 years have been one of the most dominant eras in modern football.

They've finished in the top two on six occasions, won a premiership and played off in five preliminary finals.

Here are Geelong's top 10 players of the decade:

7. Jimmy Bartel

While Bartel had already accumulated a Brownlow medal, two premierships and his only two All-Australian selections prior to 2010, he still had some of his best football ahead of him.

Bartel, like always, would star come September in both 2010 and 2011, averaging 32 touches across three finals games in the former while picking up a Norm Smith Medal to conclude the latter.

Whilst battling injuries, Bartel still managed to reach his eighth straight 400+ disposal season and soon refound fitness as a defender the following season to collect 558 possessions in a side that would finish second on the ladder. Bartel would become the club's finals game record holder that year.

Bartel moved back into Geelong's attack and finished as the clubs second highest goal kicker for 2014. Injuries crept back into his career during 2015, ruling him out for three months with a knee injury, but he would return in round 15 against North Melbourne and collect a career-high 41 possessions.

Bartel retired at the end of the 2016 season, finishing his career with 202 goals from 305 games.
