In last weekends action, the senior squad outplayed Hawthorn all afternoon to come away with an 8-7.55 to 16-12.108 victory.
The result could be considered a shock upset to outside viewers, but the boys were quietly confident of their ability to outrun Hawthorn on the large Ted Ajani Reserve.
The hawks had defeated them in both of their previous clashes during the season but were unable to replicate the result in the semi, as the Blues march into this weeks prelim with a great sense of belief.
AJAX reversed Northern's good fortunes for the day by taking down the top placed under 19's by 87 points at Ruthven reserve.
The squad will be looking to bounce back this week after securing a double chance in the finals.
