The Roos suffered injuries to key players during a 28-point defeat at the hands of the Eagles, which snatched a double chance in the playoffs.
It was the second year in succession Gordon pipped Waubra for a spot in the top four.
In a scrappy battle, the Eagles trailed by a solitary point at half time, but held the home side goalless after the long break and gradually kicked clear to record victory.
Chris McGuigan booted three goals for the winners, which were led by winger Brad Hallam, onballers Matt Raworth and Steve Patterson and Adam Toohey in attack.
Gordon coach Gary Learmonth said he knew the game would be hard-fought.
