List of VFL/AFL players to have played 300 games

This is a list of players who have played 300 or more games in the Australian Football League (AFL), previously known as the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1] This list includes only senior home-and-away matches and finals; representative games (i.e. State of Origin or International Rules), pre-season and Night Series games are excluded from the totals.

The AFL is the successor to the VFL, explaining the overwhelming representation of Victorian clubs. This list of players is often colloquially referred to as the 300 club.

AFL Life Membership

Individuals who have participated as a player, coach and/or umpire in 300 senior games in league-sanctioned games — including home-and-away, pre-season, state representative, and International rules games — are awarded life membership of the AFL.[2]
