Warrnambool Raiders and Gunditjmara Bulls will clash at Purnim Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Reigning premier Naracoorte Jets and Horsham Panthers will meet in the other cut-throat final.
Gunditjmara Bulls vice-president Coedie Carter-Clarke said his team, which fell to Naracoorte 22-10 in their first final, was excited to meet the Raiders.
The Raiders finished atop the ladder and had a week's rest.
"We are expecting a lot of physical pressure with the Raiders being a large side and they have a lot of skill," Carter-Clarke said.

"We have to play our way and to our game plan. We haven't managed to get over them this year."
Carter-Clarke, who plays full-back and wing, said the mandatory 13-player rule for finals suited the Bulls.
"Throughout the season you can elect to play 11 or 13 and in finals you have to play 13," he said.
The Raiders-Bulls clash is at 1.30pm Saturday with the Jets and Panthers at 3pm.
