The Bushies meet Dandenong Stingrays in the wildcard final round at Melbourne's Box Hill Oval.

In the under 18 competition, the first three teams win through, while teams four through 13 are striving to join them.

The winners of those five games then make up the traditional top eight system.

The Bushies are coming off a loss to Greater Western Victoria Rebels.

"Sunday's was a disappointing performance and especially when we'd played so well in the wet this year," coach Mark Brown said.

"That was our fourth game in the wet and we'd won the others convincingly, including the game against Dandenong, but this time (against the Rebels) we didn't adapt to the conditions."

Brown says, despite that loss, the club's form in the second half of the season has been strong, so he'll be chasing a display like the 12-goal win over Western Jets last month.

"We got our positioning around stoppage, were clean with our handling, we ran in numbers, we carried and used the ball really well," Brown said.

They will look to their under 19 players - ruckmen Ben Kelly and Will Christie, along with key back Liam Fiore - as well as Lachie Ash for leadership, while others will also be pushing draft claims.
