It will be the fourth time these two clubs have met in a grand final. They split the first two during the 1920s in the old Gippsland association, while the Maroons famously defeated the Eagles in one of the biggest grand final upsets in 2005.

In the two tight, low-scoring encounters between the sides this year, the visitor has won.

In round two at Traralgon, the Maroons led by five points at half-time but could only add a further goal as Maffra won by 22 points.

At Maffra in round 13, only 12 goals were kicked in total as Traralgon won by 13 points.

Not having lost since round five, the Maroons should go into the match as favourite, despite their second semi-final win over Moe not being their best performance of the season.

The Eagles announced their return to form with dominant second half performances against Leongatha and Moe to book their place in the grand final.

So just how will tomorrow's game be won?

IT'S in the midfield where the premiership could be decided.

It could all start in the ruck with Owen Booth to take on Rohan Hore. Booth has relished the added responsibility at Maffra this season, while Hore's form has seen him named in the WGLFL team of the year.

Ben Robbins was the Eagles' best in the preliminary final, and has combined well with Matt Lee, David Adams and Craig Robbins.

On the wing, Michael Coleman has been in stellar form in recent weeks, while Jed Costigan is, like Adams, back on deck after concluding his VFL duties.

Captain Ben Batalha has provided a vital link this season between defence and midfield.

The Traralgon midfield is led by coach Steve Hazelman, who has overseen a major transformation to a side which failed to make the finals last season.

Matt Smith and Danny Campbell are very good around the ground while Leigh Cummins and Ryan Potter add quality on the flanks.

AFTER only kicking eight goals in the qualifying final, Maffra has found form in attack the past two weeks. Against Leongatha the Parrots kicked 19 goals and booted 16 against Moe last week.
