The 2010s have been a period of decline for the Saints, however many quickly forget about the successes of the team in the early part of the decade.
Many of their best players during the 2010s have unfortunately been away from the club for a considerable amount of time and at present, the Saints' list isn't really up to the standard of those in the past.
That being said, it is still tough to split the likes of Brendon Goddard, Nick Dal Santo, Nick Riewoldt and Leigh Montagna.
These rankings look specifically at the body of work of a particular player from the 2010 season onwards and our positioning of some of the greats of the St. Kilda footy club will likely cause much debate.
That being said, there were 10 players who stood out from the rest.
1. Nick Riewoldt
While there were many contenders, it is hard to look past Nick Riewoldt for the top spot on this list.
A 336-game player for the Saints, Riewoldt captained the club through its period of glory at the very beginning of the decade.
While his 2010 season ultimately ended in heartbreak after a famous Heath Shaw smother, Riewoldt's incredible running ability with a 193 centimetre and 92 kilogram frame caused havoc for opposition teams.
One of the most courageous players of all time, Riewoldt consistently represented the club brilliantly during his time as captain and experienced a resurgence in form late in his career.
Despite having consistent knee troubles, Riewoldt put together an outstanding 2014 season for the Saints, returning to the All-Australian side for the first time since 2009 as well as winning the Trevor Barker Award.
While Riewoldt's set shot ability was consistently questioned, the champion forward took out the Saints' goalkicking award twice during the decade in the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
The first pick in the 2000 AFL Draft also managed to poll 19 Brownlow votes during his season last season in 2016, despite his ailing body consistently taking a beating.
Riewoldt retired at the end of the 2017 as a champion of the Saints.
