The Greatest Of All Time debate is one of the most fierce and touchy discussions one could possibly have when it comes to football.
Throughout the history of Aussie Rules football, there have been some absolutely fantastic players.
However, when it comes to comparing them, it can be extremely difficult to go across eras and decide on the greatest player of all time.
Hence, for the sake of this piece, we will only be looking at players drafted this century.
Since football is such a subjective sport, people's hearts can get in the way of their heads when it comes to ranking different players.
In order to use the most objective measure possible and remove such bias, we have created a ranking system to determine the top 10 players drafted this century.
To be clear, the only bit of opinion in this piece is the point allocation itself, which isn't perfect rather than the actual rankings themselves.
With all that being said, let's take a look at the top 10 players drafted since 2000 according to the ranking system which is outlined below.
Ranking System:ย
Games (50=5 points, 100=10, 150=15, 200=20, 250=25, 300=30, 350=35)
Best and Fairest (20)
Coleman Medal (40)
All-Australian (30)
Brownlow Medal (100 for 1st, 50 for 2nd and 25 for 3rd)
Norm Smith (100)
6. Nat Fyfe - 420 points
If not for a series of injuries, Nat Fyfe could quite easily have been in the top three on this list.
He is one of, if not the most well-rounded players of all time with great clearance work, terrific tackling and some of the best hands in the game.
Not only has he won two Brownlow Medals on a generally relatively poor team but he has won three Best and Fairest awards and collected a few All-Australian blazers.
With the only weakness of his game being his goal-kicking, Nat Fyfe has been one of the most special players of this generation.
