The AFL has invited Bob Skilton (Sydney) and Glen Jakovich (West Coast) as the respective champion of each of the Grand Final sides to present the 2006 Premiership Cup to the successful team on Saturday.
Skilton played 237 games for South Melbourne between 1956-71, kicking 412 goals.
He won the club best and fairest on a record nine occasions (1958, '59, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '67, '68), captained the club for 165 games and won the 1959, 1963 and 1968 Brownlow Medals.
Jakovich played a club record 276 games for West Coast between 1991-2004, kicking 60 goals.
He won the club best and fairest on a record four occasions (1993, '94, '95 and 2000) and was a member of the club's first two premiership sides in 1992 and 1994.
The other presenters for the AFL's key awards were announced earlier this month with Allan Jeans to present the Jock McHale Medal to the Premiership Coach and Bill Duckworth to present the Norm Smith Medal to the Best Player on the Ground.
The voting panel for the Norm Smith Medal is Michael Sheahan (Herald Sun, Chairman), Rohan Connolly (Age), Jenny McAsey (Australian), Mark Maclure (ABC Radio) and Ray Wilson (West Australian)
