Throughout the history of our great game, there have been so many incredible first nations players that it's almost impossible to rank them, so to make things easier, we're looking only at players from the AFL era.
Unfortunately, this rules out some heavy hitters, Sir Doug Nicholls being one, an incredible athlete who symbolised reconciliation and was knighted for his many exploits. The same goes for the great Syd Jackson, who won two flags with the Blues in the 70's.
Sadly, this also rules out Geelong legend Polly Farmer, who revolutionised the way Ruckman play today and also goes for the Krakouer brothers, Phil and Jim, who some say had a telepathic link that they used to dominate opposition teams and win games single-handedly.
Finally, Maurice Rioli also misses out, despite being one of the best players of his era and inspiring a generation of Indigenous players to make it to the AFL.
So with all this in mind, here's our top 10 players from the AFL era:
2. Andrew McLeod
Quite possibly the most skilled player the game has ever seen, McLeod at his peak was simply a joy to watch.
Bursting onto the scene with the Crows in the mid 90's, he was the first player to ever to win back-to-back Norm Smith Medals and he did it by the age of just 22.
His impressive list of achievements includes two premierships, five All-Australians, three Best and Fairests and the Leigh Matthews Trophy in 2001, alongside countless other honours.
During his stellar 340-game career, he kicked 275 goals and was an absolute Rolls Royce through the midfield, his explosive burst of pace only better by his exceptional composure and exquisite ball use.
One of the great players to watch play the game, McLeod sits comfortably on any list of legends.
