The Kangaroos have won 10 games on the run, accounting for another finals contender Boisdale-Briagolong last week by four goals.

The Kangaroos' form has been nothing but impressive, ball magnet Luke Conway has been dominant around the ground in recent weeks, giving the forwards plenty of supply.

The Bulldogs have in past weeks made a late attack on the top five and remain well in the hunt to snare an elimination final berth.

Their 102-point demolition of Stratford drew them level on points with fifth-placed Gormandale.

This week will see a rise in competition with the Bulldogs' finals credentials hinging on the result.

The match is seen as a must-win for the side to keep in contention with next week's opponent Gormandale before a tough assignment at Boisdale in the final round.

HAVING failed to close the door on challengers outside the top five, Gormandale needs a win at home against Boisdale-Briagolong.

Last year's grand finalist will need to treat the remaining weeks as mini-finals if it is to confirm an elimination final berth.

The Tigers can take comfort in the fact they comfortably knocked over the Bombers in round seven.

After dropping the points last week, the Bombers find themselves outside the top three with the final three games against Gormandale, Glengarry and Sale City imperative in the quest for a double chance come finals.

As unpredictable as they are, the Tigers have just as much to play for and will be aiming to blemish the Bombers undefeated record on the road this season.

AFTER holding off a spirited Cowwarr to keep the race for the top three open, Woodside is home to Traralgon-Tyers United.

The Wildcats have been shaky in past weeks, feeling the effect of coach Travis Ronaldson's absence through injury.

Having regained third position, the Wildcats are desperate to seal the double chance and make an attack on their first North Gippsland finals campaign.
