Warragul Industrials have proven themselves the kings of the close finish yet again after another heart stopping win, this time over Koo wee rup.

As with past weeks the Dusties made things harder than they needed to be, first through some wayward goalkicking and then through falling away late, where they conceded five of the last six goals.
Regardless, they managed to hold on away from home 12.14 (86) to 12.12 (84), moving into third place on the ladder in the process.
It's their sixth game this year decided by under 10 points for five wins and one loss.
The Dusties held sway at the contest and around the ground through most of the day without making the most of their opportunities. Up by 25 points midway through the last, it was looking like they'd done enough until the Demons roared to life, reducing the margin to just one point.
A few nervous moments ensued, before the final siren allowed Dusties fans room to breathe.
The win is all the more meritorious given the serious talent Warragul Industrials were missing on the field.
Coach Bob McCallum is at the top of that list, coaching from the sidelines following his knee injury last week. While there were fears he may have done an ACL, McCallum was confident of getting back on the park before the year is out.
He was joined by star playmakers Goy Lok and Kuiy Jiath as unavailable, as well as skilled veteran Luke Walker.
In their absence co-captain Michael Debenham stepped up to the plate, offering the Dusties drive and dare from half back, especially in a barnstorming first half.
Brenton Hillard and Nic Visser gave plenty of grunt in the midfield, the latter also shouldering some of the ruck duties with aplomb.
Kyan Willis' form down back was again excellent, while teenager Joshua Bradley put in a power of work as the team's only recognised ruck when Gippsland Power junior Damian Leslie was a late out.
Thomas Cornwall (three goals) rounded out their best thanks to an encouraging performance up forward.
Koo wee rup were best served by star Matthew Voss, who did everything in his power to drag his side over the line, including booting three goals.
Backman Ethan McDonald took several impressive intercept marks as Thomas Glen, Joshua Batemen, Seth O'Hehir and small forward Brodie Grace all impressed in a desperately close defeat.
The visitors began the day looking the better of the two teams, winning plenty of clearances and giving themselves ample opportunities. The only problem was their accuracy, as they kicked five straight behinds before finally finding a goal late through a free kick to Bailey Beck.
Misses continued to plague them in the second term and at one point the scoreboard read 3.10 to 2.5.
A long-range missile from Hillard and a free kick goal to Bradley gave the Dusties some breathing space before the Demons bit back thanks to O'Hehir and Voss.
Warragul Industrials made their move in the third, finally getting some reward for effort, kicking four goals to one to press their advantage.
And when Cornwall doubled up in rapid succession 10 minutes into the last, the Dusties were 25 up and looking like winners.
That was until Brodie Grace soccered one through to give his team a sniff. The Demons snapped another, then Will Farrer rose high to mark and goal.
Needing a steadier, Visser delivered via a set shot, restoring the Dusties' lead back to 13.
The Demons, however, were now winning key contests inside 50, and O'Hehir pounced on another to burst through a stoppage and respond.
And it was that man again, Voss, claiming a magnificent double grab mark and kicking truly to reduce the deficit to just one point with minutes remaining. Warragul Industrials had a few chances at goal, including a Visser shot that was rushed through, as they did enough to deny the Demons a comeback victory.
It's the second time in three weeks the Dusties have seen off a late surge, keeping in mind Cora Lynn's near steal in round nine.
Speaking post-game, McCallum lauded his side's efforts at the contest while lamenting their continued issues in front of goal.
"The positive is we keep ticking over the wins. I thought some of our contest work in the last 10 minutes wasn't quite up to it, we let ourselves down there but we did enough.
"It is a bit demoralising at times when you play such a good style of footy and it doesn't result in a goal. But I think once that starts to click – and I believe it will – we're going to be in a good position."
Warragul Industrials now face a blockbuster showdown with rivals Phillip Island at home this Saturday, with the winner to potentially sit in third by the end of the week.
