Jarryd Anton's side finished on top of the ladder and undefeated through the home and away season in 2018 before losing to Port Fairy by two goals in the second semi-final and then charging into the decider following a comfortable victory.

The following week the Kangaroos went on to claim the premiership with a 15-goal win.

In 2019 the journey repeated itself with the side yet again crowned as minor premiers and undefeated entering the finals only to lose to the Seagulls by two goals. It then edged past Cobden for a spot in the decider.

Anton, 27, who is in his second year of coaching the division three and first as 15 and under side's mentor, hoped his troops could follow the same script in Saturday's grand final.

The Hamilton-based disability support worker said an all-in effort would be the catalyst in his side's quest for back-to-back premiership victories.

"It's cliche but it takes everyone in the team to get the result," he said.

"If there is one minute where someone who isn't playing to the structure or not set up, it leaves a hole and weakens the structure.

"We need to get everybody across lime to get the result we want."

Anton said high intensity training helped his side prepare for the intense nature of finals.

"I've tried to put them under pressure and look at what decisions they make in those periods of time," he said.

"I have been able to see a significant increase in pressure decision making and they can now give off balls with certainty to a teammate rather than those 50-50 ones."
