Not sure about both finalists (that will take some time to trowel through) but Gullies were the last D1 finalist to win a D1 flag and get relegated the following year.
The closest I've come with so far, is Flinders Park d Semaphore Central in 1977 - Flinders Park defected to SAFA for the 78 season and Semaphore Centrals finished in the bottom 2 in 78 but ended up amalgamating with Exeter to form Pt Districts which also went to SAFA in 1979
