We've ranked all the premiership sides since 2010 to see who is the best of the best!
Of course, comparing football royalty is no easy task, and one side had to come in at No. 11 despite still being as elite as they come.
The teams' pure talent on paper, form over the entire season and ability to step up in big matches and all came into consideration for our rankings.
HERE IS HOW WE RANKED EVERY PREMIERSHIP SIDE SINCE 2020, COUNTING DOWN FROM 11-1:ย
9. Richmond 2017
Not too dissimilar to the current side, the 2017 Tigers made their mark on the competition with a dominant display when it mattered.ย A frightening sight for any forward, the Tigers stood strong with Dylan Grimes, Alex Rance, David Astbury and Nick Vlastuin all playing vital roles. Runners Brandon Ellis and Kamydn McIntosh's allowed Bachar Houli to flourish.
Jacob Townsend and Jack Graham both broke into the side late, but achieved the unexpected playing alongside reliable ball-winners Dion Prestia, Shaun Grigg, Shane Edwards, Kane Lambert and Josh Caddy. We haven't even got to the Cotchin/Martin combo.
Unlike most premiership sides, Richmond opted for just one key forward. Jack Riewoldt was the tall target, while the mosquito fleet of Dan Butler, Jason Castagna, Daniel Rioli and even Martin made for an exciting brand of footy.
