The Tigers have gone from a finals stagger -- with a hard fought loss to the Saints in the second semi-final -- to a finals swagger after staging a miraculous comeback against Culcairn in the preliminary final.

Galvin said the belief and momentum gained from the come-from-behind preliminary final win was priceless.

"We took a lot of confidence out of being able to turn things around against Culcairn when we had our backs to the wall at half-time," Galvin said.

"We weren't playing the type of football we wanted to in the first-half.

"To go in at half-time and remain positive and then be able to turn things around was pretty impressive.

"We went out in the second-half with the mentality that every chance we get, we will take the game on.

"It certainly gives you a shot of confidence that we can fight back if things aren't going our way."

The two sides have clashed three times this season with the Saints holding a 2-1 advantage including the second semi-final win a fortnight ago.

The Tigers will be buoyed by the knowledge they were missing centre half-forward George Alexander.

Alexander returned for last week's preliminary final with the 2017 premiership star crucial to the Tigers' structures.

"Hopefully getting big George back will help our structures a bit more," he said.

"It allows us to set up better and we won't be bombing it down the line to that big unit in Matty Seiter."

Galvin said the Tigers would have to at least break even at the stoppages to turn-the-tables on the Saints.

Newly crowned Azzi medallist Seiter and Nico Sedgwick were like Batman and Robin in the second semi-final and superhero's for the Saints.

"It's no secret that Seiter's and Sedwick's work around the stoppages did the damage last time," he said.

"If we can break even with them at the stoppages, we will back ourselves head-to-head around the ground.

"We just need to stop them from getting those dominant clearances."

Galvin, 23, will be playing in his second grand final after being part of the Tigers 2017 triumph over Jindera.

His younger siblings, Declan, 21, and Clancy, 19, will also be aiming for a second flag.

Galvin also coaches the thirds who are defending the flag this season against Holbrook.

"I'm pretty laid back like most of the boys in the side and haven't really thought about the grand final too much," he said.

"I guess coaching the thirds also helps keep my mind off it too because I have got that to deal with first."

Galvin said the Saints would head into the clash as favourites.

"In 2017 we were on top and the hunted," he said.

"This year we are hunting Brock-Burrum and the underdog tag suits us fine."
