Last year's Riverina League champions have won their past four games, and will look to avenge their sole loss to Osborne in round one at Osborne Recreation Ground.
Flanigan has missed the past two weeks with a groin issue picked up in the round three win over Leeton-Whitton, but is hopeful of returning against the Ostriches.
If not, the midfielders is confident he'll be ready for the opening week of AFL Riverina Championship finals next weekend.
"It (playing this week) depends on training, we'll see how I get through tonight," Flanigan said on Thursday.
"With the grounds being closed we haven't been able to get a decent training in this week.
"Each week we've been building, we're a fairly new team that's been put together and we're clicking a bit more.
"Maybe the loss to Osborne was a wake up call."
