The decade has been a tumultuous time for the Crows - a salary cap breach, the tragic passing of a coach and a grand final apprentice all wrapped up in a just a 10-year period.

During this time the Crows managed to unearth some champions, as well as some who fly under the radar but inevitably make major contributions to the team come game-day.

Zero Hanger takes a look at the top 10 players of the decade at the Adelaide Crows.

9. Tom Lynch

'The Connector' is one of Adelaide's most important players - A vital piece of the Crows' gameplan. A Showdown medal in 2016, as well as being the last Crows player to kick 10 goals in a game are just some of his accolades, although it's his workrate on game day that is a true testament to his ability. Adelaide are a better team when Lynch is playing.
