Geelong forward Cameron Mooney confirmed this morning that he would retire at the end of the season.

Hawthorn have re-signed coach Alastair Clarkson for an additional three years, extending his contract through until the end of 2014.
Currently in his seventh season at Hawthorn, Clarkson had been in protracted contact talks and had also been been linked with Adelaide and Melbourne, who are looking for head coaches after the respective exits of Neil Craig and Dean Bailey.

AFL 2011 makes history

The 2011 AFL season is set to be one for the record books, with two notable statistical occurrences, including the first time in 81 years a team has finished on exactly 100 per cent.
Essendon's seven-point win over Port Adelaide on Sunday means the Bombers end the 2011 season on exactly 100 per cent having scored and conceded 2217 points in their 22 games.
It is the first time this has occurred in the AFL/VFL since 1930, when South Melbourne finished with nine wins and nine losses and 1553 points in both the for and against column.


Magpies fans might take it as an omen that in that year Collingwood defeated Geelong in a Grand Final.
The only other previous instance of a team having an identical for and against record in terms of scores was in 1916, when Collingwood scored and conceded 803 points in a 12-match season.
The Magpies finished second of the four teams competing that year, which was notable for the fact Fitzroy won the wooden spoon and the Grand Final in the same year.
The other, perhaps more relevant, statistical point is that with the top four now confirmed, it will be the first time in 55 years that the top four finishers are the past four teams to win a premiership.
Collingwood (2010), Geelong (2009 and 2007), Hawthorn (2008) and West Coast (2006) fill the top four spots.
The last time that happened was back in 1956 when Melbourne (1955), Collingwood (1953), Geelong (1951 and 1952) and Footscray (1954) filled the top four. Melbourne won the flag that year, the second of three straight and five in six years for the Demons.

After 40 years of ABC sports coverage, Roger Wills will call his last AFL match this weekend at a venue with a very special place in his heart.
He will be at Adelaide Oval when Port Adelaide faces Melbourne.
In 1971, Brisbane-born Roger Wills joined the ABC as a trainee and went on to be part of the country's greatest sporting achievements, without having to set foot on the playing field.
He has been one of the voices of the ABC's basketball, netball, cricket, hockey, soccer, rugby union, rugby league and Australian Rules football coverage.
Roger Wills has covered Commonwealth and Olympic Games, but thinks the time has come to move aside from the microphone.
"The policemen get younger and the football gets quicker," he laughed.
"I think it's important that it is time to go and to give someone else an opportunity."
But he plans to be back in November at Adelaide Oval as a spectator celebrating the centenary of the Oval's heritage scoreboard.

There is a feature article on Roger at the ABC website: http://www.abc.net.a...ort&section=afl

Collingwood premiership player Leigh Brown and Sydney premiership player Tadgh Kennelly have both revealed they will retire at the end of the season.

The AFL has released the week-one finals indicative schedule.
Hawthorn and Geelong will clash in the second qualifying final at the MCG on Friday night, September 9.
Collingwood will host West Coast at the MCG in the first qualifying final on Saturday afternoon, September 10.
St Kilda and Sydney will clash in the elimination final on Saturday night with the venue yet to be decided. If the Saints lose to Carlton and the Swans beat Brisbane this weekend, then Sydney will host the final. Then the AFL will have to wait for the week one finals schedule of the NRL before deciding if the Swans-Saints clash will be held at the SCG or ANZ Stadium at Homebush.
Sunday afternoon will feature the blockbuster Carlton-Essendon elimination final at the MCG.

I'm going to miss the swans' final

Why? What if the Swans host the final in Sydney?

[purple.is.a.fruit]

HOLLA! Love all the Essendon people in here haha.

Also I hate Sydney. But I love Mei haha

nawww I didn't see this til now but I could say the same about you and Essendon

I'm going to miss the swans' final

Why? What if the Swans host the final in Sydney?

I bought tickets to see a show ages ago that's on the same time as the swan's match so I won't get to see it. I'm a little sad about it, it might be our last game of the year! then I'll have to wait 6 long whole months to see my team play again haha
