Iron Knob 1498 d Charlies Opening 1201
The minor premiers firmed in flag favouritism after an effortless 297 point win over a game Charlie's Opening outfit.
The Codpieces, even without Gary Ablett, remain a force to be reckoned with - especially with Pearce Hanley posting GAJ-like numbers. Hanley's 149 led seven tons, including 120+ from Goldstein and Shuey. And you know everything is coming up Milhouse when even Jarrad Waite is finding form at the right time of the year.
For the Spelunkers, young gun Bontempelli (139) again smashed out a great score, while Swallow (121), MacKenzie and Hill broke into three figures.
Again the absence of a recognised ruckman didn't help the side - and may have to be addressed in the off-season.

Foul Bay 1436 d Cradle Mountain 1116
Ouch. Unfortunately this one was a bit one-sided as well as a below-full strength Chickens' squad outclassed the boys from the Apple Isle.
Old man Pavlich (143) turned back the clock, proving to be a more than handy fill-in for the absent Orange Roughy. Selwood, Mummy and Libber Mk 2 also hit the ton, while another six players scored above 90.
For the Devils, it was a disappointing end to a fine season; like a few teams it seems injuries caught up with them at the wrong time - Pendles a late withdrawal and Stevie J absent decimated its midfield.
The Amazing Zorko provided a lone hand with a magical 162, while Heppell's hair bamboozled the opposition for 119.

Waikikamoocow 1202 d Birdsville 1182
The only close final for the weekend saw the Waikiks battle to a 20-point win over the Battlers.
The defensive duo of Taylor (132) and McVeigh (129) helped lead the way, while Big Sauce (130) continued his all-ORFFA form in the ruck. These contributions would prove crucial in the wash-up, given Jamie Elliott's withdrawal left the depleted Waikiks one player short.
For Birdsville, it was a case of so close but so far. If not for an untimely injury to Travis Cloke (60), there may have been an upset in the offing.
Alas, it wasn't to be.
Murphy, Enright and Treloar all broke into three figures, but a string of good but not great” scores - as well as Cloke's injury - left them short.

Wagga Wagga 1359 d Darraweit Guim 1184
The Marsupials emerged as the only lower ranked team to survive into the second week of the ORFFA finals, thumping a disappointing Darraweit team by almost 175 points.
Wagga rediscovered its form from earlier in the season to streak away to an early lead - courtesy of 168 big points from Buddy Franklin, who took full advantage of a depleted Darraweit defence. Ultimately Franklin's score proved the difference between the two sides.
Prestia (135), Shiel (120) and Scott Thompson (107) provided able support, while the return of Watson (93) helped hugely.
For the Blimps it was a deflating loss, with poor performances and injured players causing way too many problems. Few players could hold their heads high - Maric, Cooney, Westhoff and Tyson all scoring over 100, while Rance was brave in defence with 96.
Michael Walters' first game back for 18 weeks (69) offered some encouragement for 2015.
