Peter Moore will present the premiership trophy to son Darcy if Collingwood win the grand final, while Leigh Matthews will do the honours for Brisbane.

Two-time Brownlow Medallist Peter Moore will present the premiership cup to his son Darcy if Collingwood win Saturday's AFL grand final.

Leigh Matthews, who coached Brisbane to their 2001-3 premiership three-peat, will have the honour if the Lions win.

Moore and Matthews were named on Wednesday as the cup presenters, with two-time Geelong premiership coach Mark Thompson already confirmed to present the Jock McHale Medal to the winning coach.

West Coast and Carlton great Chris Judd will present the Norm Smith Medal to the player voted best afield in the grand final.

Moore won the first of his two Brownlows at Collingwood in 1979 and captained the club, as well as winning two best and fairest awards in his 172 games for the Magpies.

He then went to Melbourne, where the ruckman won his second Brownlow in 1984, and played 77 games for a career total of 249.

Moore was inducted into the Australian Football Hall Of Fame in 2005 and Darcy was a massive father-son draft selection for Collingwood in 2014.

Darcy and coach Craig McRae will received the cup from Peter on the dais if the Magpies win, while Matthews will hand it over to Lions coach Chris Fagan and captain Dayne Zorko if they prevail.

Matthews, one of the AFL's greatest players and coaches, has a foot in either camp on Saturday.

He masterminded Brisbane's three-peat, which included grand finals over Collingwood in 2002-03.

Matthews also was a key figure in the Magpies ending their cursed Colliwobbles era when he coached them to the 1990 flag, ending a 32-year drought.

That barren period featured grand final losses in 1977, '79, '80 and '81, all featuring Peter Moore in the side.
