With our picks for the best defensive groups that never overlapped in the AFL era in the books, it is now time to shift our focus to the opposite end of the field.
When we think about the game's greatest highlights, it is usually the men in the goal square that acted as architects.
When we as fans cast our minds back to the first numbers we ever had stitched onto our replica jumpers, it was usually the full forward's digits that we selected.
They are the men that keep both the scoreboard and the turnstiles ticking.
With the AFL era now 32 years old (1990 to the present day), we here at Zero Hanger have decided to select a group of club greats on each line whose careers never overlapped.
As with our group of defenders, here are the ground rules for selection:
1. Three players must be selected from each club.
2. Even if they have played for multiple clubs, no player can be selected on the list of two teams.
3. All players must have played at least a portion of their careers from 1990 onwards.
4. As mentioned, no player can have played an in-season match with any of their colleagues during their time at their selected club.
For example, should Jason Dunstall be selected for Hawthorn, then all of his forward line friends from 1985 to 1998 will fail our criteria.
With that in mind, here is our best stab.
Let us know how we have gone and which clubs you feel have fared best.
West Coast
Peter Sumich – 1989-1997 (150 games and 514 goals)
Although only surpassing 100 majors once in his nine years as an Eagle, Peter Sumich was a regular deadeye dick.
After debuting for the Perth based outfit in 1989, Sumich topped the club's goal scoring chart in each of his first six seasons.
With a career goals per game average of 3.43 and a pair of Premiership medallions to his name, the hulking Western Australian was a lock for our list.
Scott Cummings – 1999-2001 (46 games and 158 goals)
Despite spending just three years with West Coast, Scott Cummings more than made his mark with the high flyers.
In less than 50 games in his home state, the key forward averaged 3.43 goals a game.
Cumming's greatest season at AFL level came in 1999, when he was awarded the Coleman Medal after booting 95.42 across 24 appearances.
Josh Kennedy – 2008-Present (238 games and 634 goals)
Some may still be willing to argue that Carlton won out in the Chris Judd trade, but with Josh Kennedy now the Eagles' greatest goalkicker of all time, even the dual Brownlow medallist has conceded his original club has taken the chocolates.
Across his 13 years with West Coast, Kennedy has amassed seven club goalkicking titles, three All-Australian blazers, a pair of Colemans and a Premiership medallion in 2018.
With an obscenely accurate 645 goals and only 359 behinds in his time in Perth, you can be forgiven for putting your glasses down each time Kennedy plucks a mark inside 50.
