context_page_description: This is a list of every player to have at least played one senior VFL/AFL game for Melbourne Football Club since the inception of the VFL, of which Melbourne was a foundation club, in 1897.
  Players are listed in order of debut. The start of their Melbourne Football Club career is determined from when they were first listed at the club, and the end is determined by the final year they were listed at Melbourne. Players are numbered by their debut order for the club; when multiple players debuted during the same match, they are numbered according to the alphabetical order of their surnames.
