Throughout the final years of the 1990s,ย AFL clubs across the land looked backward rather than forward, with selectors, historians and superstars converging to name their Teams of the 20th Century.
However, for the league's young expansion clubs, the chance to sit down and select their finest sides has not yet arisen.
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 2000ย AFLย season will be acknowledged.
- All statistics and awards must have been accrued while playing for the club in question.
- Any player selected must have played at least 100 senior games for their respective club since the start of the 2000ย AFLย season.
Next up, we head to Carrara to run the rule of the best Gold Coast Suns to have shone since inception.

7. Jarrod Harbrow (2011-2021)ย
1 x best and fairest (2018)
192 games, 19.5 disposals per game, 3.35 rebound 50s per game
There from day dot but a man of few words, there have been no quieter achievers than Harbrow throughout the course of the Suns' brief history.
After cutting his teeth as a Bulldog, the Cairns native made the shift home to Queensland in 2011 and stayed on for a further decade and change.
Reliable all the time and damaging on his day, teammates knew what they would get from Harbrow each and every week.
