Throughout the final years of the 1990s, AFL clubs across the land looked backwards rather than forward, with selectors, historians and superstars converging to name their Teams of the 20th Century.
So, as we near the quarter-time mark of the 21st century, what better time to run the rule on which players are likely to feature when the selectors of tomorrow get together in several decades' time?
While every club has an array of deadset legends that can be called on, we here at Zero Hanger have employed the following rules of selection:
- Only statistics recorded and achievements accrued since the start of the 2000 AFL season will be acknowledged.
- Any player selected must have played at least 100 senior games for their respective club since the start of the 2000 AFL season.
Second up, we head to Lions' Den to break down the best names to have played for Brisbane.

Despite being born in Fitzroy of all places, Andrews is Brisbane through and through, having graduated from the Lions' Academy to share the club's captaincy reins as of last season.
While still yet to taste the ultimate success, should the Aspley product lead his side to the promised land, he is sure to see his star shoot up this list in the seasons to come.
