The two clubs will acknowledge two legends, the late Lucas Butzin and Jeff Jordan.
The pair passed away at a young age and are remembered through the annual Butzin-Jordan Cup and medals 10 years on.
Old Scotch great Geoff Price said Butzin was aged 23 when he died in a tragic road accident, the morning before the club played Uni Mowbray.
“At the time he was Old Scotch’s club captain, a league best and fairest winner and A-Reserve coach,” Price said.
“He forgo many approaches to go to other clubs for monetary gain or to play at a higher level but declined to remain with his beloved Scotchies.
“Jeff was a true champion of the Mowbray Football Club and aside from an outstanding on field career, during which he represented Tasmania and was a member of premiership sides, he continued on in an administrative role for his club and the NTFA – he was a real personality.”
