Rhiannon Cuomo, Eliza Mathison and Kristy Ludeman come from varying backgrounds, but are united in one common goal.
A Port Fairy division one premiership.
Standing in their way, however, are a high-flying North Warrnambool Eagles.
Cuomo, Port Fairy's open grade mentor, has led the Seagulls' division one outfit to two successive grand final defeats.
Cuomo led the Seagulls within three and two goals of division one glory in her reign before stepping up to lead the club's open side.
I haven't actually won a senior premiership yet, so that would be really exciting for me.
- Rhiannon Cuomo
The former Russells Creek coach hopes it's third time lucky - albeit this time as a player.
"I'm definitely out to make amends," Cuomo said.
"I haven't actually won a senior premiership yet, so that would be really exciting for me. It'd be great to get over the last two years of getting so close but not quite there."
Ludeman, on the other hand, is no stranger to premiership success.
The midcourt dynamo helped Warrnambool and District league outfit Nirranda snap an 18-year premiership drought last season.

"What it reflects is the hard work (we've put in) throughout the year," Ludeman said.
"It's going to be a really tough game.
"We need to do the basic things right."
First-year defender and paramedic Eliza Mathison moved to Port Fairy for work.
She was relishing the chance to bring home a flag with "such a good bunch of girls".
Port Fairy's division one outfit is one of three Seagulls' sides chasing success on Saturday.
The Gardens Oval-based club also harbours hopes of division two and three premierships. Seagulls division two coach Stacey Dwyer was determined to square the ledger against Koroit after going down by just one goal in last year's decider.
