They don’t like to take themselves too seriously, though.

It’s been a laugh a minute at Jaguars training sessions according to coach Craig Duncan.

“They’re always laughing,” he said.

“It’s a really nice vibe.”

Jaguars have gone from strength to strength in 2016.

They pipped Tolland at the business-end of the season to finish second on goal difference, with 113 goals for and 33 against, and were the only team to beat grand finalists and five-time defending premiers Henwood Park Hawks in 2016.

So, what’s the key to their success?

“Hard work, that’s all it is,” Duncan said.

“They give it their all, it’s all you can ask for as a coach,”

The exceptionally wet winter has affected Hawks, who train at Rawlings Park and Jaguars, who train at Burns Park.

“We suffered as much as everyone else, we were just as disadvantaged as anyone else,” he said.

“A lot of our training was done at the rec centre.”

The squad honed basic skills at an indoor facility, becoming sharper on the ball, and growing in confidence.

A 4-1 loss to Henwood Park in the major semi-final, and the possible loss of Abby Foley (injured, ankle) and Billie Deacon (injured, ankle) has not battered the Jaguars’ belief that they can win on Sunday. 

“I’m always confident, you have to be confident,” Duncan said.

“No point going in with a negative aspect.

“As soon as you’ve done that you’ve lost the game.”

Duncan wishes Junee and Henwood Park the best of luck on Sunday.

“Grand finals are always special,” he said.

“To me it’s a good thing and it looks good on the CV but at the end of the day it’s all about the girls and how far they’ve come.

“Good luck to both teams, to all teams involved.

“The better team on the day will take it out.”

Kick-off: 3.30pm at Equex
