In their own words

“The AFL congratulates Jack Crisp on his record-breaking 245th consecutive game. It’s an extraordinary achievement that reflects his professionalism and durability over more than a decade.”

— AFL (official league website)

“The numbers behind Crisp’s record-breaking streak: 3,934 days elapsed since it began. That’s over 10 years of never missing a match for either Brisbane or Collingwood.”

— Collingwood FC (club’s official site)

For Jack Crisp, the streak is still alive. As of 2025, he shows no signs of slowing down. For Collingwood, having a player who never misses gives them a structural backbone few clubs can match. The question now is how far he can push the record – and whether anyone else will ever come close. For the AFL, durability at this scale redefines what’s possible in a sport built on physical toll.

While Jack Crisp’s streak is the longest active run in the AFL, NHL ironman record holders like Keith Yandle have set the standard for consecutive games in other professional leagues.
