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.

8. Seb Ross

Ross capped off his 2019 season by taking out his second Trevor Barker Best and Fairest Award recently.

Ross won his first in 2017, which was a year of promise for the Saints.

Unfortunately, Ross and the club have failed to continue their growth over the last couple of years which puts him further down this list.

Although the lingering taste of disappointment does tend to obscure how good Ross is for the Saints.

Picked at number 25 for the Saints in the 2011 draft, Ross broke out in 2016, averaging 26.4 touches per game along with close to five tackles and just under five inside 50's per game.

Ross also polled 14 Brownlow votes in 2017 while averaging five clearances per game.

A strong inside player, the 26-year-old certainly has a lot to give the club the decade to come.
