Throughout the final years of the 1990s, AFL clubs across the land looked backwards rather than forward, with selectors, historians and superstars converging to name their Teams of the 20th Century.

So, as we near the quarter-time mark of the 21st century, what better time to run the rule on which players are likely to feature when the selectors of tomorrow get together in several decades' time?

While every club has an array of deadset legends that can be called on, we here at Zero Hanger have employed the following rules of selection:

  • Only statistics recorded and achievements accrued since the start of the 2000 AFL season will be acknowledged.
  • Any player selected must have played at least 100 senior games for their respective club since the start of the 2000 AFL season.

Second up, we head to Lions' Den to break down the best names to have played for Brisbane.

8. Charlie Cameron (2018-present)

4 x leading goalkicker (2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022)
3 x All-Australian (2019 and 2023)
129 games, 273 goals, 2.1 goals per game

While 2024 will be only his seventh season north of the Tweed, Cameron has carved out a special place for himself in the hearts of Lions fans everywhere.

The former Crow has also been busy on the stats sheet, slotting more than two goals a game during his time in the River City, leading him to sit fourth on the club's all-time goalkickers list and claim three All-Australian blazers in the process.

Like Andrews, if a flag or two can be flown during his days at the Gabba, expect to see Charlie ride his Harley higher up our list.
