Essendon great Matthew Lloyd has named his top five teams of the past 30 years.

Speaking on AFL.com.au, Lloyd revealed the five teams he believes will go down and be remembered as the greatest teams of the last 30 years.

Lloyd counted down from 5-1...

2. Hawthorn (2013-2015)

Lloyd said: "To win three in a row is just an unbelievable effort in this modern era. Clarkson's a genius, I think he should be credited with a lot of this because he had the ability to change the game style 13, 14 and 15. Coming up with different ideas to stay ahead of the pack like not many coaches can do."

"When you look at some of the names - Luke Hodge and the way he performed through those Grand Finals. Cyril Rioli. Brian Lake who was brilliant through that period as well. And then you had Roughead and obviously Shaun Burgoyne."

"Why I had them above Geelong is because they were able to do it three years in a row where Geelong couldn't do that, where as Hawthorn did in an era where you're not entitled to win three in a row."
