Bulls Prospectors Wrap Up The Bulls have continue their late season form with a comfortable 121 point win over the Prospectors. In was an intriguing ruck battle as up and coming Lobb took on his former mentor in Mummy with Mummy taking the points narrowly 84 - 75. The tight ruck battle didn't equate to the midfield as the Bulls midfield of Griffen, Swallow, Rocky and Coniglio dominated JPK, WInes, Ebert & Hutchings 441 to 345. Hall was prominent up forward for the Bulls win 106 points whilst the Hoff was best for the Prospectors. Down back Macmillan and Boyd starred for their respective sides and Josh Smith had a blinder as an OOP player. On the pine Coolgardie's Miller & Martin were amongst their sides best with Miller surely to become a starting midfielder in 2017. However no one wants to be in the battle of the best of the rest and for the Bulls this late season spike in form is all too late. Moving forward its a Best of the Rest GF against Pakenham with both sides wanting to salvage something from disappointing years.
Pakenham have run out winners 1140 to the Buffaloes 1106 It was another lacklustre affair with only a few good players. Merrett 132 and Dangers 131 lead the way for the away team with Gaff and Sidebum doing the damage for the home team. Pakenham move on to the biggest loser final, it would be fitting for the Parasites to win to put the icing on the cake on a pathetic end to the year. Having the title of biggest loser fits nicely into the teams mantra going forward. Let's hope our losers mentality can take us to one more win.
Congrats to @tyze1 and the Staghorn Flat Bulls, on proving that they're bigger losers than me and my Prospectors! Some great performances in both sides, quite nicely balanced by some absolutely terrible performances! Good luck to @tyze1 and @ddsaints in the 2016 ORFFU Losers Grand Final, for the title of the "Biggest Loser".

Pakenham lead early in the first after getting the jump over the Bulls. Pak 2 / 156 / 78 Bulls 0 / 0 / 0
Pakenham are the best of the rest with a commanding win over a 14 man Bulls outfit 1382 - 1130 The match report is irrelevant with both teams taking no pleasure in taking part in this series. Congrat @ddsaints for holding this dubious title!
Cheers @tyze1 Your spot on mate, nothing to get to excited about. Thanks for the match mate and thanks for the reports. A perfect end to the year for the parasites, holding the title of biggest loser is exactly what no one wanted. A fitting end to the season.
