The AFL wishes to congratulate North Melbourne's Jack Darling ahead of his 300th AFL game this round.

A 2018 Premiership player with the West Coast Eagles and four time club leading goal kicker, he is set to become the 106th player in VFL/AFL history to reach 300 games.

Darling was presented with AFL Life Membership earlier this month in Sydney and his 533 career goals places him fourth among active players in the competition, behind only Jeremy Cameron, Taylor Walker and Luke Breust.

The AFL's historian has compiled some of the key numbers below for Darling's career, remembering he was pick 26 in the 2010 AFL National Draft and becomes the first player from that draft to reach 300 games.

The AFL's Historian has compiled a list of Darling's career achievements:
