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.
