The side made it through the season undefeated but drew against Stawell in the final round and faces a Burras outfit that has been building well late in the season.
Minyip-Murtoa coach Vicki Burke said she goes into the game knowing it will be tough but believing the Demons are beatable.
“We’ll have to play four consistent quarters,” she said.
“We need to cover Abbie Avery and Paige Llyod very well.
“They have a lot of pace and are the hub of the Demons’ game plan.”
Despite two losses against the Demons during the season, Burke said her side would take confidence from having pushed the side in round 13.
The Burras led in that game at three-quarter time before losing by three goals.
“They haven’t quite faced out our top side yet so that might make it interesting,” she said.
“We need to be working as a complete unit because the defence will have a tough job.
“The pressure has to be on before the ball gets in there because we need to limit the opportunities.”
