Hamilton Kangaroos kept its finals hopes alive with victory over Camperdown

The Kangaroos' 11.9 (75) to 7.12 (54) win over Camperdown on Saturday night ensured they remained level with fifth-placed South Warrnambool on 32 points.

Dunn is hoping star big man Levi Dare and emerging ruck Jack Pertzel can continue their form against Blues' leader Dan Weymouth.

"Jack and Levi have been working really well together this season," he said.

"We know that Levi brings a heap of experience and Jack, who is still pretty young and raw, goes about his footy well and is learning every week.

"They are working well in the ruck and offering a target up forward and with our tall forward line we can try to stretch the opposition."

With the last spot in the top five up for grabs, Dunn said his side would continue to control what it could control to ensure it stayed in contention for the club's first senior finals campaign.

"We are not under too much pressure (to reach finals) but obviously you have the pressure to perform every week," he said.

"We are enjoying footy and we are trying to control what we can control."

The Kangaroos' final few games are against North Warrnambool Eagles and Port Fairy following next weekend's match against Warrnambool.

Camperdown's year is all but done with the Magpies, who reached last year's grand final, falling 16 points behind the Kangaroos and Roosters.
