Bickley or Richo to present AFL premiership cup
The AFL has announced Mark Bickley or Matthew Richardson will present the premiership cup to Adelaide or Richmond at the grand final on Saturday.
Bickley captained the Crows to the 1997 and 1998 flags, while team success with the Tigers evaded Richardson during his 282-game career.

Richardson retired in 2009 after a 282-game Hall of Fame career in which he kicked 800 goals and earned three All Australian guernseys.
Bickley hung up the boots in 2003 with 272 games and the two premierships under his belt.
Tuesday's announcement follows recent confirmation that James Hird will present the Norm Smith Medal.
Meanwhile, the AFL has also confirmed Matt Stevic, Simon Meredith and Shaun Ryan as the field umpires.
They will wear the light blue kits seen in round 23 to avoid a clash with Richmond's bright yellow guernseys.
