2016 was easily the year of the decade for the Dogs, as they broke their premiership 54-year premiership drought.

It hasn't been smooth sailing since then, but here are the best 10 players of the decade for the boys from Whitten Oval.

9. Easton Wood

The 2016 premiership captain, Wood represents every bit of the word leadership. A career-best year in 2015 honoured him with the club's best and fairest and All-Australian honours.

Wood has made a living off courageous intercept-marking and above-average rebounding. Despite never being a high ball-winner, the Bulldogs former skipper is a major weapon for the red, white and blue setting up the players in front of him for many, many seasons.

One of just two inside the top 10 who has played each season since 2010 with the club. With the ability to play on both smalls and talls, Wood rarely puts a foot wrong.
