Commentator Dennis Cometti is set to hang up the microphone at the end of the season.

The 66-year-old has been commentating AFL since 1986 when he joined Channel Seven. He also commentated Test cricket on the ABC Network for 13 seasons prior to joining the Seven Network.

"I'm getting rather old these days and not so much tired of footy but certainly tired of travelling," he told The West Australian.

"I think I've worked out, with the help of a couple of other people, I've spent about six years of my life living in hotels.

"That seems a waste. I don't think there's any chance this will change, so it is my final year and I'm looking forward to it."

Cometti played 40 games for West Perth in the WAFL, before injuries cut short his playing career.
