St Kilda's Ken Whiffin has also been awarded the Jack Titus Service Award for conspicuous service to game.
AFL Chief Executive Officer Andrew Demetriou said the commission was delighted to be recognising 13 outstanding contributors to the game.
"The AFL is always very conscious of its history and recognising those people who have done so much to make our game as strong as it is," Mr Demetriou said.
"Life membership of the sport you have served is the ultimate acknowledgement by everyone in the game of your efforts and the new inductees are indeed extremely deserving."

Congrats to Neville. Long deserved :clapping
They should also give him a retrospective premiership medallion for the one that was stolen from him by a cheat.

well done Neville Crowe ...

Absolutely. He continues to be a tireless club servant and was one of the main reasons we survived the Save Our Skins era.
They should also give him a retrospective premiership medallion for the one that was stolen from him by a cheat.
Got me thinking. Those low life Bluebaggers have turned cheating into an art form - Nicholls/Crowe, Elliott/Salary Cap, 2007/Tanking. Karma is a wonderful thing! :pray

Ditto Ditto Ditto have been getting away with it since 1897. :thumbsup
Add in the 1982 Grand Final. Does Helen D'Amico ring a bell. Revenge will be sweet. Pity Neil Balme didn't knock them all out with right hooks in 1973 low lying scum that they all are. Nicholls was always a maggot a fairy slap that missed the mark from Crowe and he falls to the ground like a sissy then a guy half his side in the 1973 Grannie makes him groggy and concussed. In an era when it was an unwritten law to not dob in your peer at the tribunal real noble from Big idiot oops Big Nick.
Anyway well done to Neville Crowe worked hard for the Tigers and still does. A true Tiger and a very happy character to boot.
I remember his Formplex adds in the late 80's early 90's.
