VFL/AFL games records

April 26, 2024

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.

Former North Melbourne captain Brent Harvey is the VFL/AFL games record holder with 432 games

Most VFL/AFL games edit

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