Woodbury's 12-shot win over Kangaroo Flat in the penultimate round left the Roos' finals hopes hanging by a thread.

The fifth-placed Roos, who play reigning premier Bendigo East in the final round, are three points behind fourth-placed Eaglehawk.

Top spot is still up for grabs after second-placed Bendigo upstaged Bendigo East by three shots.
