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
3. Geelong 2011
The Cats took down a Collingwood team arguably stronger than their previous premiership season through a mix of youth and experience.
This Geelong team was as good as you will ever see. A midfield consisting of Joel Selwood, Jimmy Bartel, Cameron Ling and Joel Corey rarely got beaten.
All of Scarlett, Enright, Lonergan and Taylor quickly became club legends to form one of the greatest defences ever, while a forward group including Tom Hawkins, Paul Chapman and Steve Johnson did plenty of damage.
An interchange of James Kelly, Matthew Stokes, ย Allen Christensen and Mitch Duncan made this team hard to dislike, as the Cats won their second premiership in three years with Chris Scott's first season in charge.
Above all, the 2011 Cats stepped up in the big games, a true testament to a great side.
