For what has been a tumultuous decade for the Melbourne Demons, the club looks to have produced a number of players who may just go down as future club legends.
The Dees have only managed to reach September just once in that time, and while the highly sought after top draft selections came their way, only a few have lived up to the hype.
Many of the club's current best have erected from outside of the club's first-round picks or via father-son selection, with the clubs current future relying on those from their more glorified past.
Five players have won the honour of being selected into the league's All-Australian side over the past 10 seasons, with just the seven total selections shared between the quintet.
After going backwards this season, Melbourne will be desperate to start the new decade with a fresher start, hopefully matching the season they had in 2018.
3. Clayton Oliver
Oliver comes in at number three on the list while only being at the club for four seasons, and he has a fair argument for why he sits on the podium.
'Clarry' has not only proven to be a star in the league and for the Demons this decade but ranks as one of the club's best-ever onballers statistically having already broken record after record within the clubs history.
Oliver already holds the top three seasons for disposals, handballs and contested possessions at the club while also having three of the clubs top five seasons in clearances and tackles.
At 22-years-old Oliver has already been crowned Melbourne's best and fairest twice (2017 and 2019), finished second once (2018) and earned an All-Australian selection (2018).
Oliver enjoyed a promising first year with Melbourne in 2016, playing in 13 matches at a rate of 19 disposals, four tackles and four clearances per game.
Looking at his next three seasons, it's hard to figure which one was his best...
In 2017, Oliver had 29.95 disposals, 6.91 tackles and 6.64 clearances per match, also polling 12 Brownlow votes.
In 2018, Oliver had 29.36 disposals, 6.72 tackles and 6.48 clearances per match, also polling 13 Brownlow votes.
In 2019, Oliver had 30.05 disposals, 6.32 tackles and 6.95 clearances per match, also polling 12 Brownlow votes from 22 games.
For Oliver, greatness awaits if it hasn't already been reached. He has been transformed into one of the league's best midfielders and will be a strong chance to be one of Melbourne's best players in the next decade.
