And then there were two.
Trafalgar will have the final chance to knock over the undefeated Neerim-Neerim South when the Ellinbank District football deciders are played out on the Bloods' home ground on Saturday.
Although challenged by Longwarry in the second semi final, the Cats have been a class above and enter the grand final with the opportunity to be crowned premiers and champions.
They boast a forward line that can be difficult to contain with key targets Lachlan Bambridge and Kai Mounsey supported by the likes of centurion goal kicker Mason McGarrity and Luke Kinder at their feet.
Its midfield also looms as a difficult prospect with the likes of co-coach Kody Wilson and Will Papley driving them forward, complemented by Ayden Ramm running all day on a wing.
Co-coach Tom Muir leads an organised defence that has conceded the fewest points this season.
Trafalgar will enter the contest buoyed by improved form that saw them charge home over Buln Buln and then kick away from Longwarry.
Led by Brad Hoffman, the Bloods' defence has almost been as stingy, conceding just 17 points more than this week's opponent.
Captain Dylan Farrell will back himself to provide first use to his midfield to bring an equally potent forward line into the mix.
The Bloods would have been impressed with William Claridge stepping up in the forward line last week.
Blake Slater, if he can get up from a knock to the knee, will provide a good leading target alongside Brewster brothers Danny and Shane.
Isaac Caroleo is evasive with Kyle Beveridge and Mathew Devon also capable to find themselves among the goal.
Dylan Gauci works hard and could find himself with a role on Saturday in what is expected to be an intriguing match up.
LANG LANG will take on Trafalgar after winning through in the reserves.
They will face a determined Bloods side looking to start their day on the right foot.
ELLINBANK have been the team to beat in the under 18 competition, but will face a Buln Buln side that has shown improved form to advance.
BUNYIP will face off against Poowong in the under 16s, the Magpies looking to put in an improved performance from the qualifying final to challenge the Bulldogs.
