"We are under no illusions. We think that South have been the benchmark all year," Hall said.
"They've gone through the season undefeated and deserve to be favourites but we are confident that we can come away with the win.
"I think it's all about energy and just trying to stick to our structures and what we know best."
Scottsdale worked their way through the field during the season to finish with eight wins and two losses to their name, dropping the first two games of the season to South and Old Launcestonians before bursting their way to the finals.
Led by NTFA representative captain Letitia Johnston as well as featuring team of the year members Raigan Kettle, Ruby Slater, Mikayla Binns, Georgia Dare and Jess Casey, both Hall and Johnston believe that Scottsdale's strong team environment leads to their success.

"We've got some really good players but we've got an even contribution from everyone," Hall said.
"We've got a really good rotation system and feel we have the right structures to compete for a really long time."
Johnston added: "There's so many people from different areas - Gladstone, Derby, Bridport and we've just really bonded well and treat each other as the same, no one is different."
