Of particular interest is the former practice of counting State Games played as senior games - often, particularly between 1971 and 1977, State Games (#) were held at the same time as Club games. On this basis, many of our players were (eg Nicholls) granted as playing a Club game in recognition of State service. This practice was reversed between 1973 and 1974 (and later by the League), and as such, games played data by some of your favourite players (listed below) may not match those of textbooks that you retain. We ask that you do not seek to change this data in the relevant pages.
| Player | Updated Games* | Inclusive of State Games as above |
| Garry Crane | 148 | 150 | Bruce Doull | 356 | 361 | Alex Jesaulenko | 256 (C) / 279 (O) | 260 (C) / 283 (O) | Mark Maclure | 243 | 244 | John Nicholls | 328 | 331 | Geoff Southby | 268 | 275 | Robert Walls | 218 (C) / 259 (O) | 219 (C) / 260 (O) |
Players with a Carlton link also impacted are Peter Bedford (186 / 191), David Clarke (211 / 216) and Greg Wells (267 / 269).
NB * Updated Games data is consistent with AFL historic data and represents actual Carlton senior games played.
