Here's what's happened this week.
Happy Halloween Footy Fans ๐ ๐ปย

Shane Mumford Retiresย
GWS star Shane Mumford has retired after ten years of AFL footy. Haling from Bunyip, Mumford began his career as a mature-aged rookie who was picked up by Geelong and debuted at senior level in 2008.
He shared the news to his Instagram and said he looks forward to "cheering them [Mumford's teammates] on from the coaches box" as well as thanking the Cats for giving "a fat kid a chance."
Fans have paid tribute to Mumford on social media, check out this hilarious tweet by Heath Shaw of Mumford on Christmas day!

Everyone is missing the footy ๐
Without the footy to follow each week many AFL fanatics have the summertime sadness... who else feels like this guy below? โ
Collingwood celebrates the festival of Diwali!
Collingwood celebrated Diwali with Sundar Lyer from the Hindu Council of Australia. Lyer spent the day with players, educating them on the history of the celebration as well as sharing traditional food.
Suns hit the coast for a different kind of cross-training... perhaps the secret ingredient for a potential premiership ๐คย
Two days ago the Gold Coast Suns accompanied athletes from theย Surfers Paradise Surf Club for a group training session on the beach. The Suns along with three-time Nutri-Grain Ironman Champion Ali Day hit the sand to ramp up the off-season training.
After the training session, Sun's mid-fielder, Touk Miller told the Gold Coast Suns that he has a "whole new appreciation" for what surf lifesavers do in training.
