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:
4. Tom Hawkins
Having just added his second All-Australia selection in 2019, seven years after his inaugural selection, Tom Hawkins has proven to be one of the leagues best performing key-forwards this decade.
The turning point early in Hawkins' career was his outstanding performance across the 2011 finals series. Hawkins' qualifying final against Hawthorn was seen to be a breakout game for the spearhead. He would then better that performance in the Grand Final against Collingwood, collecting 19 disposals, nine marks and three goals in the 'premiership' quarter to help his side win the flag.
Hawkins has won Geelong's goal kicking the last eight seasons, accumulating a total of 443 goals across that span. His first season as Geelong's leading man was ignited by a goal after the siren against Hawthorn in Round 19, 2012. Hawkins finished the year with 62 goals, placing equal second in the Coleman medal and took out the Cats' best and fairest.
After a season troubled with a back injury, Hawkins returned to fine form in 2014, finishing the season with a career best 68 goals and a second place in the club best and fairest and an All-Australian nomination.
Ever since, the cats big man hasn't kicked below 46 goals in a season and doesn't look to be slowing down heading into 2020.
A Coleman medal is all that separates Hawkins and some of the best forwards from this century, with "The Tomahawk' continuing to impress as he closes in on his final few years in the league.
