List Of VFL/AFL Players To Have Played 300 Games
This is a list of players who have played 300 games or more in the Australian Football League (AFL), previously known as the Victorian Football League (VFL). This list includes only senior home-and-away matches and finals. It does not count representative games such as State of Origin or International Rules, nor does it include pre-season/night series games. The AFL is the successor to the VFL, explaining the over whelming representation of Victorian clubs. This list of players is often colloquially referred to as the 300 Club.
