Hawthorn and St Kilda will be playing for the annual Blue Ribbon Cup in their clash on Saturday afternoon.
Entering its 18th year, the Blue Ribbon Cup is played in memory of two Victorian Police officers, Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller, who were killed in the line of duty in August 1988.
The Hawks and Saints will meet at the University of Tasmania Stadium at 1:45pm on Saturday, in what will be the third time the traditional match has been hosted in Tasmania.
As a mark of respect to all the Victoria Police officers who have been killed in the line of duty, players and on-field officials will wear blue and white checkered armbands while umpires will wave specially made Blue Ribbon Foundation flags.
Commemorative Blue Ribbon medals will be issued to all competing players at the conclusion of the match, and the Silk-Miller Medal will be presented to the player voted best on ground from each team by opposing club presidents.
The Blue Ribbon Foundation aims to encourage the public of Victoria to remember the sacrifice of officers who have fallen in the line of duty and to show all serving members of Victoria Police that their work and commitment is valued by a caring community.
