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.
4. Nick Dal Santo
Despite leaving for North Melbourne at the end of the 2013 season, Dal Santo managed to put together four elite seasons at the Saints during the 2010s.
Similar to many Saints on this list, Dal Santo's 2010 season was excellent, averaging 25 touches per game while being a key member of the club's finals campaign.
While the club may have not reached the heights of that season again, Dal Santo continued to flourish in the 2011 season and put together what many believe to be his best year of footy.
During 2011, Dal Santo polled 28 Brownlow votes and finished in second place in the Trevor Barker award for club Best and Fairest, while also being rewarded with an All-Australian selection.
He averaged just under 27 touches and 5.1 clearances per game during the year and was recognised for his leadership in the absence of Lenny Hayes.
Dal Santo continued to be a productive player during his final two seasons with St Kilda, averaging close to 24 touches per game across the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
Known for his silky skills and poised decision making, Dal Santo is the type of player St Kilda fans are now crying out for.
