This page is a collection of VFL/AFL games records. The Australian Football League (AFL), known as the Victorian Football League (VFL) until 1990, is the elite national competition in men's Australian rules football. This list only includes 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. Brent Harvey is the current leader with 432 games played, but Scott Pendlebury is close to taking the title, only needing to play 7 more games to overtake Harvey.
Below are the players who have played at least 300 games at VFL/AFL level; this list of players is often colloquially referred to as "the 300 club". Individuals who have participated as a player, coach and/or umpire in 300 league-sanctioned senior games â including home-and-away, pre-season, state representative and international rules games â are awarded life membership of the AFL.
