Meanwhile, North Melbourne champ Brent Harvey will pull the boots on for game No. 300 on Sunday.

The Kangas play West Coast at Subiaco Oval.

He joins Glenn Archer (311 games), Wayne Schimmelbusch (306 games) and Adam Simpson (306 games) in the 300 Club at Arden Street Oval.

Harvey reaches the milestone at the age of 32 years and 100 days, making him the 14th youngest, and 13 years and 354 days since his debut, making him the ninth quickest to the milestone.

Melbourne captain James McDonald will play his 250th game.
