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
6.
Richmond 2019
The Tigers won their second flag in three years with a team that was as well structured, tough and resilient as they come.
Struck down with a host of injuries during the season that saw them sitting outside the top eight, Richmond went on to win 12-straight games, culminating in the grand final triumph over GWS by a whopping 89 points.
While there weren't too many changes from their 2017 outfit and they may even look weaker on paper without star defender Alex Rance (ACL), the majority of this team got much better over the two years.
Bachar Houli, Nick Vlastuin, David Astbury and Dylan Grimes were in career-best form and formed the basis of an unbreakable defence, more than covering for Rance's absence.
Dion Prestia was at the peak of his powers in the guts, Dustin Martin was back to his brilliant best and the addition of Tom Lynch cannot be understated, forming an imposing twin towers combination with Jack Riewoldt up forward.
These Tigers were clearly on another level to every rival side, cueing some calls of the 'D' word.
