While every game between the cross-town rivals has been electric this year, Saturday's game will have a trip to the grand final on the line.

The winner of the game will earn their ticket to the season finale at the same venue, while the loser will play either the Arrows or Waratah in an elimination final.

The Hawks have won two of the three regular season matches between the two this season, with the third game ending in a nail-biting tie.

However, the Cavaliers will be healthy, locked and loaded as they seek a bit of post-season payback.

With the ladder-leading Hawks looking at ending another season completely undefeated, captain Gemma Poke said the side's eye was definitely on the prize.

"The end game is exactly where we want to be," she said.

"This exact situation has happened the last two or three years now where we [Cavs and Hawks] finish one and two, we've played in this qualifying final and then we've met up in the grand final.

"This is a position that we've been in before and we know how it works.

"It's definitely something we think about, this weekend is just another step to get to that final game, which we want to be in."

Cavs co-coach Dannie Carstens said the team has continued to learn from each Hawks loss this season, something she believed will provide somewhat of an advantage.

"They've allowed us to hone in and be really reflective on everyone's performances," she said.

"I'm really excited about this weekend because we have put in the hard yards over the last couple of weeks in preperation for this match.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what we can all do out there."

The centre will indeed be where the match is won or lost for the Cavaliers.

The Cavs held tow with the Hawks in their last match up largely due to mid-court turnovers they were able to produce, even taking the lead at various points.

However, their aggression turned against them in the final quarter, where the eagerness for interceptions ended with fouls and errors against a foe that will make you pay.

Look for mid-courters Shelby Miller, Piper Sanders and Hannah Lenthall to be crucial here.

If they can apply pressure in the centre during all four quarters, the Cavs can win.

That being said, the Hawks mid-courters are no slouches either, and when firing on all cylinders are a goal third feeding machine.

This is thanks to a one-two punch of Steph Walker and Lydia Coote, complemented by their state-calibre centre Jamie Symons.

When all three are on the court, the chemistry is palpable.

The Hawks have an unstoppable force in Ashlea Mawer at shooter, there's no denying that.

Not only is she accurate and tall, but her agility in the circle makes her nigh on unbeatable.

Cavs keeper Bec Hyland, as with previous games this season, stands the best chance at tempering Mawer.

With Cavs attacker Zoe Claridge returning to the line up, expect talented Cavs all-rounder Estelle Margetts to slide back into goal defence more frequently during Saturday's game.

Having another tall in the defensive third for the Cavs will take the pressure off Hyland, enough to maybe cause game-changing plays.

Having Margetts in defence will also help in dealing with another tall Hawk Courtney Treloar, who'll rotate in attack with the equally deadly and speedy Kendall Jones.

The finals match will start at the Silverdome at 6pm.
