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.

5. Dale Morris

A true warrior and champion, a Bulldog through and through. Dale Morris just kept giving even when his body could not. A reliable defender who shut down some of the game's best forwards, both small and tall.

Morris made one-percenters an attractive stat, and had one of the best months of his career during the Bulldogs' premiership tilt. Running down superstar Lance Franklin in the dying stages of the Grand Final, for Tom Boyd to kick a clutch goal will likely down as the greatest moment in the club's history.

Durable, versatile, resilient are just a few words to describe Morris, who leaves a might legacy at the 'scray.
