This is a bit of a "damned if we do, damned if we don't" situation.
Below is an example of the email sent to all grounds hosting grand finals on the weekend, as well as participating clubs:
As with previous years, the host venue will be in possession of the respective premiership trophies and medallions for this week’s match and the procedure for presentations will loosely be as follows though as they say, “the winner can please themselves”. ie; to choose to receive medals on the ground or choose to take the medals and run, and do the presentations back at their club later on
Our recommendation is The President or nominated representative for the eventual premier of the Div. 7 and C3 matches will present in this order.
1. A team manager or similar should read the names in playing number order
2. Premiership medallions to the 21 players
3. Premiership medallion to the team captain
4. Premiership medallion to the team coach
5. Premiership cup and flag to captain and coach
You are in control of the order of presentations. Some clubs choose to hold the player medallions and present them at your club but others prefer the traditional order as listed above but it is completely up to you.
There are 30 medallions to present to other significant parties eg team manager, trainer.

There are simply not enough board members to go around - even the dullest knives in the draw can add up those sums so before having a crack at the league - look at your own backyard as every participating club was well aware of the situation.
Rant over.
