both the Gowans, P. Thomas, Y. Sibenaler, M. Mackenzie, L. Powell & to a lessor extent J.Gallagher have played a 'season' of football in their finals appearances, while unbelieveably J. Cicolella has played 2 'seasons' of footy in his finals appearances...while some others have about a half a season

great work spelly

Great work, spelly.

West have no players with SANFL finals experience, but some have played AFL or VFL finals.

37 finals is only behind Peter Carey (43), and also if I can find out how many finals David Marshall played in total, because he played in 37 finals between 1980 and 1993, however, I don't know if he played in the 1978 finals series. Another two from that series would take his tally to 39.

As it stands, this is the most finals matches played:
Peter Carey 43
David Marshall 39 - if he played both matches in 1978, if not, 37 or 38
Justin Cicolella 37
Darren Smith 36

From what I have worked out in the 200 Club list, no-one else has played more than that.
