Following that, it's actually Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley's turn after his 2002 win but, as he is a chance of coaching on the last Saturday of September, Black will do the honours.
Buckley will present the medal eventually when he is available.
Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams will present the Jock McHale Medal to the winning coach. Williams received his medal from the great John Kennedy snr after the Power's win in 2004.

Geelong and GWS star Steve Johnson made September his own, particularly during the Cats' dominant era from 2007 to 2011, and the star forward has been named the 2019 Premiership Cup ambassador.
Johnson won the Norm Smith Medal in the Cats' 2007 premiership win.
