The 2010s have been a period of decline for the Saints, however many quickly forget about the successes of the team in the early part of the decade.

Many of their best players during the 2010s have unfortunately been away from the club for a considerable amount of time and at present, the Saints' list isn't really up to the standard of those in the past.

That being said, it is still tough to split the likes of Brendon Goddard, Nick Dal Santo, Nick Riewoldt and Leigh Montagna.

These rankings look specifically at the body of work of a particular player from the 2010 season onwards and our positioning of some of the greats of the St. Kilda footy club will likely cause much debate.

That being said, there were 10 players who stood out from the rest.

9. Jarryn Geary

While rarely receiving the plaudits outside of the walls of St Kilda, Geary is still an inspirational leader for the Saints during some tough times.

Since taking over the captaincy from Nick Riewoldt in 2017, Geary has proven himself to be one of the most inspirational and courageous leaders in the game.

Unfortunately for Geary, the 2019 season has been a tough one as the ever-reliable defender missed out on much of the year through injury, including a particularly gruesome thigh injury in Round 11.

However in years prior, Geary has held some of the great small forwards of the game below average performances.

Take for example his effort on Eddie Betts in 2016, as while St Kilda was thoroughly beaten to the tune of 88 points, Geary somehow managed to hold Betts to just one goal despite an incredible amount of inside 50's.

Although many neglect the role of Geary, he has established himself as a consistent backman and leader for the Saints across the decade.
