The AFL wishes to advise it has invited two former greats of the West Coast Eagles and Collingwood respectively, to be the presenter of the 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Cup to the winning club.

Since 2004, the AFL has asked a former great of the winning team to be on hand to present the premiership cup, and is delighted that Norm Smith Medallists Dean Kemp (1994, West Coast) and Tony Shaw (1990, Collingwood) had accepted the AFL’s offer for this week’s Grand Final.

Media opportunities with both Australian Football Hall of Fame members will be formalised by their respective clubs.
