In the extensive history of the V/AFL, only six players have featured in 400 games.
These men have combined for 21 premierships, but curiously, no Brownlow Medals.
Ahead of Scott Pendlebury's coronation as the code's all-time games record holder this Saturday, I've had a crack at ranking the six revered figures for their play, individual and team success, and overall legacy.
1Kevin Bartlett
The Punt Road icon just has to land at one.
Five flags, one Norm Smith (the year after they started awarding it), five best and fairests, four club leading goalkicker gongs, as well as the slice of history that being the first player to the milestone represents.
Bartlett ran rings around his opponents in a brutally physical era of football - dominance made all the more impressive given his diminutive frame. An aversion to the hand pass, Bartlett's foot skills were a feature of Richmond game plans across his 19 seasons at the top level.
Throw in his numerous exploits representing both his state and country, and it's easy to see why "KB" was elevated to Legend status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame just four years after his initial induction.
A worthy leader of one of football's greatest clubs.
