A number of career and club records are likely to be broken during the 2024 AFL season as a host of players look to reach major milestones this year.
Two-time Collingwood premiership player Scott Pendlebury is set to extend his reign as the Magpies' all-time games record holder while potentially becoming the first player to play 400 games in the black and white.
The former Magpies skipper needs just 17 more games to reach the milestone and join a club home to just five other players.
Should Pendlebury manage to play every match this year, his 400th game will come against Geelong at the MCG in Round 18.
Geelong veteran Tom Hawkins is in line to become the Cats' all-time games record holder, needing just eight games to level close friend and ex-teammate Joel Selwood on 355 games in the hoops.
Becoming the Cats' most-capped player would also see Hawkins surpass the 350-game milestone, with Port Adelaide's Travis Boak another who could also reach that mark, needing just two games.
A goals milestone might also be in Hawkins' sights, with a further 19 goals needed for the Geelong key forward to become the 13th player to boot 800 V/AFL goals ever. A 54-goal campaign for Hawkins would see him pass the great Doug Wade for second on Geelong's all-time goals leaderboard, trailing only Gary Ablett Snr's record of 1021 majors.
West Coast's Jack Darling has similar milestones in his reach, needing just five goals to move into second all-time for the Eagles. Currently on 510 goals from 13 seasons with West Coast, Darling can surpass Peter Sumich's tally of 514 goals early into the new season.
Darling is also just 14 games from passing Dean Cox to only sit behind former captain Shannon Hurn on the club's all-time games list, while a full season for the Eagles spearhead could see him bring up the 300-game milestone, needing 23 more.
Teammate Andrew Gaff needs 25 games to bring up his 300, requiring a pair of finals appearances after a full season to do so.
Others looking at potential 300-game milestones include Geelong's Mitch Duncan, Giant Callan Ward, Hawks forward Luke Breust, Tigers champion Dustin Martin and Sydney co-captain Luke Parker.
