No scandal has dominated the past decade like the Essendon supplements saga. But there have been plenty of times where footy has found itself in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Nick Smart rates the top-10 AFL scandals of the decade.
It won’t surprise that Lance Franklin, Dustin Martin and Patrick Dangerfield produced some of the best individual games of the decade. Relive their extraordinary performances and find out who else has joined them in the top 10 list.
It wasn’t a great period for goalkicking accuracy. Which player will go down as the worst shot on goal for the decade? Plus, the deadeyes who didn’t miss.

WHEN is a home ground not an advantage? That’s what Swans fans are asking after ANZ Stadium was named to host Sydney’s qualifying final against GWS.
GWS have blown away their own expectations this season, but now they’re playing finals for the first time they are setting no limits on what they can achieve in September.
JONATHON Patton and Steve Johnson kicked nine goals between them as GWS locked in a top-four spot with a 37-point win over North Melbourne.
LEON Cameron admits he didn’t think the Giants were top-four material six months ago. Now a top-four finish has fuelled a belief a premiership is within reach.
ALL eight finalists are bunched like a Tour de France peloton entering the hills and each team presents different reasons why it can become premier. DAVID KING RATES EVERY FINALIST.
