Two Koroit players aiming for six consecutive Hampden league premierships

Koroit ruckman Jeremy Hausler and defender Dallas Mooney are the only two Saints aiming to win six consecutive flags with the Hampden league powerhouse.

Hausler, who will play in his seventh straight grand final when the Saints meet North Warrnambool Eagles on Saturday, said the feat "would be pretty special".

"A lot of the other boys have been around for most of them as well," he said.

"It's been a bit of a core group really. A lot of people have maybe missed one or two due to being away or injured or something like that.

"Me and Dallas have been the lucky ones who have stayed on the park and stayed pretty loyal to the club."

Hausler, 29, credits the Saints' history-breaking run to a heart-wrenching grand final defeat.

"The loss in '13 definitely drove the want to win," he said.

"It is a funny old saying 'you've got to lose one to win one' but I think that definitely drove a lot of our group the following year, especially when we were massive underdogs in 2014. The pain of the loss in '13 probably drove us to win that and it's started a really good run of wins."

One of Hausler's fondest memories came against the Eagles.

"2016 stands out, ironically against North, probably because we were so far down early," he said.

"We were 30-odd points down in the first quarter and to really rally (was great) and I think we won pretty comfortably in the end."

Hausler, a Warrnambool-based cabinet maker, said Mooney's impact in the five flags could not be underestimated.

"Over the last couple of years the whole league has appreciated him as much as we have for a long time," he said.

"He's just such a dominant force back there.

"A lot of teams have his name on their board every game trying to curb his influence.

"He hasn't had many quiet games over the past few games so he's massive for us down there."

Saturday will be a big day for Hausler with younger brother Matt, 25, to feature in the reserves grand final.

He was given a run in the senior side when his older sibling was out injured this season.

"We knew he was good enough," Hausler said.

"He probably just didn't get the opportunity, I haven't been injured (much over the years) and we had Ethyn Zimmer and Daniel Roache so he's probably been unlucky for a while not to get more opportunity.

"It was good to see him get a crack and I am pretty sure he enjoyed himself and he did all right so he was happy with that."
