Ranking the top 10 Giants I've seen was an enjoyable yet fairly straight-forward task given the club is only 15 seasons old.
From the originals, prized picks and draftees to those who have extended their careers with the Orange Team, there's been a plethora of talent from day dot.
While GWS is yet to win its first premiership, 19 finals, a Grand Final appearance, four preliminary finals and finals campaigns in seven of the last nine seasons point to a perennial contender.
The genuine superstars have made an impact but those who have helped build the culture and character and set the standards are as worthy of recognition.

A product of the Giants Academy, the Canberra export has been on a tear the past few years establishing himself as one of the AFL's premier midfielders.
The big-bodied ball winner, pick 10 in the 2019 draft, debuted in Round 1 of 2020 and has packed plenty into his 115 games.
Elevated into the leadership group in 2023, Green took his game to new heights improving year-on-year and quickly became that midfielder a fan trusts to win the clearance.
He earned his first All-Australian blazer last year and won the club best and fairest before rupturing his ACL in January. And that's when I knew our season was cooked.
*If Green signs with Tassie, this article will be updated to remove any mention of his name and we won't speak of him again*
