The AFL will award nine life memberships including one to St Kilda's Norm Smith Medallist Lenny Hayes at its annual general meeting in March.

Hayes, Geelong coach Chris Scott, ex-Cats midfielder Joel Corey, Sydney coach John Longmire and dual premiership-winning Swans star Ryan O'Keefe as well as six-time Grand Final umpire Brett Rosebury all qualify by reaching the milestone of 300 games as a player, umpire or player and coach.

AFL Medical Commissioner and former North Melbourne club doctor Harry Unglik will receive life membership under the provision of special services to the game.

Ex-Western Bulldogs club president David Smorgon and St Kilda premiership player and long-time administrator Brian Sierakowski will also receive life memberships.
