Stawell have put an exclamation point over their premiership credentials with a 6-point win over Dimboola in the wet.

Just one-point separated the two sides at each of the breaks, 14-15 to the Roos at quarter time; 24-23 to Stawell at half-time.

Dimboola snatched the lead again before the final change, before the Warriors kicked the only goal of the fourth quarter to run home 4.14 (38) to 4.8 (32) winners in wet and slippery conditions at Central Park.

Mitch Thorp, Jarrod Stafford and Tom Walker were the pick of the Warriors, with Thorp kicking all four of Stawell's goals, while Michael Bowden, Jack Landt and Matthew Rosier fought hard for the visitors.

In another battle of finals fancies, the Giants had the wood over Horsham with a 10-point win at Hopetoun.

The home side started slowly and didn't kick their first goal until the second quarter, but held Horsham to just one goal a quarter, to grind out a 5.9 (39) to 4.5 (29) victory.

As with the Warriors, it was the Giants' inaccuracy that gave the visitors a chance in cold, blustery conditions.
