Ahead of this Saturday's Western Premier League semi-final in Dubbo the two teams will be doing everything they can to find a weak spot in each other's armour after they played out two 1-all draws during the regular season.
The difference is that this time one side has to win.
Such a run of result between the Goats and Bulls adds plenty of excitement to the fixture, especially since both clubs will feel they had plenty of opportunities to win their previous encounters.
Panorama coach Ricky Guihot said the draws have been no surprise given how well the sides match up.
"Their two standout players are in the middle of the park and that's where our strength is as well," he said.
"There's a couple of good boys up front for them, like we have, and they're strong at the back. It's like a mirror image. That's why the results have been what they are between us."
Usually teams feel like they've developed their style completely by the time finals roll around.
However, Panorama feel like there's still room for evolution in their game - and that's something they might need to break the running stalemate between themselves and Bulls.

Guihot said the team's strong run into the finals series is the sort of momentum any team would crave for the pointy end of the year.
"I feel like we're still developing our style but as the results have shown over the last few weeks we're nearly there. We're not a complete finished product but we're just about as strong as we can be," he said.
"We have goals in us and we've had our opportunities. Against Dubbo Macquarie last week we should have had three goals in the first five minutes. We hung in there though and got the job done.
"It's hard when it's so evenly poised. It'll just come down to the day and who wants it more."
Panorama will be taking a full strength side to Dubbo with a healthy squad of 17 to select from.
The match at Apex Oval kicks off from 3pm.
