"(Last time) we just didn’t execute the way we wanted to," Nagambie co-coach Sarah Sanderson said after the win against the Redlegs.
"There were a lot of silly mistakes and we turned the ball over far too many times. We fell into their trap and played their way.
"But we are really looking forward to having another crack at them this weekend."
Dookie had a comfortable 48-goal win against Avenel last round and despite not being able to move from second spot will still be keen to double down on its recent victory against the Lakers.
The Swans are out of finals contention themselves, but will look to finish the year on a high and build momentum for next season when they take on Violet Town on Saturday.
"If we play like we did this week (against Dookie) we’ll definitely get the win over Violet Town," Avenel coach Jacinta Jamison told the Seymour Telegraph.
"Though it does come down to who’s the better team on the day."
Shepparton East can send a scare through the Murchison-Toolamba camp with a stellar performance this weekend, but unless something drastic happens it will not be enough for the Eagles to taste finals action.
Currently seventh on the table, Shepparton East would need a massive victory against the Grasshoppers to jump into the top six, with almost 27 percentage points and one win separating the outfits.
Merrigum is sandwiched between the pair in sixth, but with a bye and a 16 per cent buffer over the Eagles will be safe in their spot.
Undera and Ardmona also have a bye to finish their respective campaigns, with clashes between Lancaster and Tallygaroopna, Rushworth and Girgarre and Stanhope and Longwood completing the round 18 action.
