Yesterday
As we approach the pointy end things are yet again getting interesting. Never paid much attention to how many it takes to go through so thought I'd throw it out to you wise folk out there what it takes.
1) be in top 6
2)in with a chance
3) watching at home
Was then going to play who you got and why?

16 should have you in
15 will be play-in but will need %

Ladder predictor out mid week, I'll reserve the right to change my prediction. Been some average games but overall a fantastic season.

14 imo, maybe 13 with good percentage.Even 14 would mean only one of the teams in the 5-8 clump going above .500 the rest of the way, and a couple of them only winning one or two more games.

I'm with Dunkman. I don't think anyone on 14 will miss play-ins. Possibility of percentages for 13.

The result of tonight's game is super important.
36ers are away to the Cats twice, home to the Hawks, away to the Kings and away to SEM. All tough. But easier away to Cairns and home to NZ.
Also home to Bullets which may prove pivotal for both teams.
Bullets have SEM away, Cats home, Hawks away and MU home. All tough. But easier against Cairns twice (home and away) and NZ away. Also have injury concerns like JJs.
Expect Cairns and NZ might take some scalps in the run home.
Bullets currently 10 wins and 36ers 9 wins (with a lower percentage). 10 if they win tonight.
Much depends on when Magnay is back for the JJs. If he returns for the home game against the Hawks on Jan 30 then there is MU away and Cairns at home. All of those become winnable with him in the lineup especially if the wheels don’t completely fall off in the meantime. They also have the Cats at home on Sunday, NZ away, SEM away, Kings away. With their season on the line maybe they sneak one or two of those.
JJs currently with 11 wins. If they win tonight they go to 12 then they probably win enough from there to make it.
Can only see SEM rising up the table from here.
If either JJs or Bullets get to 15, 36ers will need to get to 16 which will be tough. Odds against them if they lose tonight.

Just remember there are 29 games this season, not the usual 28.
