List of VFL/AFL players to have scored 500 goals

Dick Lee was the first player to kick 500 goals in the Victorian Football League (VFL), finishing with a total of 707 goals in a 230-game career at Collingwood

In the sport of Australian rules football, a goal is scored by kicking the football between the two middle goalposts at either end of the field and is worth six points. In the Australian Football League (AFL), the premier Australian rules football league, a total of 54 players have scored 500 goals or more in senior matches (not including pre-season, Night Series, interstate and exhibition matches). The overall leading goalscorer is Tony Lockett, who kicked a total of 1,360 goals in 281 games for the St Kilda Football Club and the Sydney Swans between 1983 and 2002. Lance Franklin of the Sydney Swans leads current players with 786 goals, Nick Riewoldt of the St Kilda Football Club with 689 goals, whilst Brent Harvey of the North Melbourne Football Club with 516 goals is the last current player on the list.[1] The first player to reach the 500-goal milestone was Collingwood's Dick Lee (pictured right), who reached the mark during the 1917 season.[2] The first 1000-goal player was Gordon Coventry, also of Collingwood, whose record of 1299 career goals stood for 61 years until it was broken by Lockett in 1999.[3]
