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
8. Sydney 2012
A team with a wealth of experience, season 2012 was a strange year to finish third on the ladder. The Swans journey to grand final day came off the back of a 29-point win over Adelaide, before advancing with a 26-point win over Collingwood. The Grand Final had it all, lead changes and a last-minute sealer from Nick Malceski gave Sydney their second flag of the 21st century.
A familiar trend with premiership teams, the Swans had one of the more consistent and solid back six groups, lead be Rhyce Shaw and Ted Richards. The match included a heart-gripping foot race from Sydney's Lewis Jetta and Hawks champion Cyril Rioli, exactly what the 99,683 fanatics came to see.
Veteran's Adam Goodes and Ryan O'Keefe were spectacular in the big games, with the latter winning the Norm Smith Medal. It was a premiership triumph that showed the entire league how strong the might bloods culture can be.
