Win, lose or draw, a drought is set to be broken at the MCG this Saturday afternoon.
Although neither the sexiest nor the longest, St Kilda's home final against GWS at the home of football will see the duo break a September duck, becoming the 127th different finals pairing in AFL/VFL history.
And with Carlton, Melbourne and Port Adelaide joining the Giants in the race down the straight for the flag, combinations 128, 129 and 130 may also be cracked before September's end.
But just how many AFL clubs are yet to face off in the finals furnace?
More than one would first imagine, we can assure you.
Take a gander at the list below.
