Either Collingwood's goalkicking machine Peter McKenna or St Kilda's 1966 hero Kevin Neale will present the AFL premiership cup.

Before the grand final, the league nominates a great from the two clubs who will hand over the cup on the dais to his victorious team.

McKenna kicked 838 goals in 180 games for the Magpies between 1965-75 and twice won the Coleman Medal as the league's top goalkicker.

He was of the same vintage as Neale, a tough utility who played 256 games for the Saints from 1965-77 and was named in the club's team of the century.

"Cowboy" Neale, one of the most popular players in the club's history, kicked five goals when they beat Collingwood by one point to win their only premiership.
