Hawthorn has been the best team by far in the last decade. Completing a three peat, the club was the most ferocious team with many saying the 2013-15 Hawks were the best dynasty ever.

The team has spent seven out of the ten years in the finals and it looks like they are becoming stronger with the likes of James Siciliy and Tom Mitchell still yet to reach their full potential. This 22-man squad has many players with three premierships next to their name and some have four.

A strong midfield is led by Mitchells Sam and Tom, with Jordan Lewis, Isaac Smith, Brad Sewell and Liam Shiels complementing the perennial ball winners.

The forward line is a proven mix of talls and smalls boasting two Coleman medalists in Jarryd Roughead and Lance Franklin and consistent goalkickers Cyril Rioli, Luke Bruest, Jack Gunston and Paul Puopolo.
