Chris Scott will reach a remarkable milestone this week and further etch his name into the history books, as he features in his 600th AFL game as either a coach or player across his storied career. 

The journey started all the way back in 1994, his first year as a player with the Brisbane Bears, extending all the way through to the present day as he prepares to lead Geelong into Friday's Semi-Final against Fremantle. 

Along the way there have been a plethora of accolades, which includes premierships and a number of the game's highest coaching awards, all adding up to one of the all-time great resumes. 

Take a look through some of the most significant numbers from Scott's career across 29 seasons in the AFL.
