Parr, under enormous pressure, calmly slotted the shot from 40 metres after pulling down a strong pack mark.

For Osborne, its 17th straight win was made even more special with four regulars Matt Clarke, Simon Lane, Anthony Johnston and Trent Haddrill, all missing he game.

They also picked up more injuries during the rugged encounter to finish with just one player on the bench in its two-point win.

Just like the previous week, it was the visitor’s amazing accuracy that helped them home. Henty had eight more scoring shots.

JINDERA wrapped up second place on the ladder and the subsequent double chance by powering home against an inaccurate Brock Burrum at Brocklesby.

In a see-sawing encounter, Jindera led at quarter time before the Saints took control and led at both half-time and three quarter time.

The Bulldogs after kicking just five first half goals, kicked five in each of the third and last quarters to run out 19 point winners.

Jindera’s Jacob Millar did a terrific job keeping Saints’ Justin Koschitzke to just one goal, as the Saints wasted many chances in front of goal.

They came from behind in the last term kicking the final three goals of the game to finish the Brookers’ faint finals hopes.

The contest was tight throughout with the Crows opening a four-goal lead before Holbrook looked to have the game safe.

Michael O’Riordan was outstanding for the Crows, while Brad Carman was the Brookers standout. Tim Austin kicked three for Crows and Curtis Steele four for Holbrook.

RAND Walbundrie Walla Giants have moved back into the top six following a crushing 69-point win over the dangerous CDHBU at Coreen.

Dangerous forward Nick Turner was at his elusive best kicking seven goals feasting out on the midfield dominance of the Giants.

To play finals the Giants just need to defeat Murray Magpies in a huge match at Walla this Saturday, with the loser missing finals.

Jye Shields did his league best and fairest chances no harm with another brilliant display. Lachlan Bruce and Tim Hallinan were other excellent players.

Lockhart after a fair first half, could not contain the Lions in the second despite good performances from Zachary Sheather and Thomas Godde.
