Former Crows coach Brenton Sanderson has qualified for AFL life membership.

Sanderson coached Adelaide in three seasons from 2012 to 2014 and was also a member of the Club’s inaugural squad in 1991.

On the field, he played 209 games for Geelong, Collingwood and Adelaide in a career spanning 15 years, winning the Cats’ best and fairest award in 2001.

Sanderson is eligible for AFL life membership after taking part in 300 League-sanctioned games including premiership matches, pre-season games and any international or state games.

Twelve other nominees are also eligible, including former AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou.

Demetriou, who held roles as AFL football operations manager, AFLPA chief and played 106 games for North Melbourne and Hawthorn, was recommended for life membership under the provision of special service to the game.

The AFL Commission, which Demetriou's successor as CEO, Gill McLachlan, sits on, will consider the nominations at the League's annual general meeting in March.

After reaching the 300-game milestone last season, Jimmy Bartel, Kane Cornes, Dean Cox, Nick Dal Santo, Corey Enright and Nick Riewoldt qualified automatically.

Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron, North Melbourne coach Brad Scott and AFL umpire Justin Schmitt also qualified.

Long-time club administrators Graeme Allan and Greg Miller were nominated under the special service to the game provision.

Carlton's Shane O'Sullivan will be presented with the Jack Titus award for conspicuous service to the game.

O'Sullivan has given 35 years of continuous service to three separate clubs, including the last two decades back with Carlton after stints with Footscray and the Brisbane Bears.
