Adelaide (3) v Perth (8): Adelaide should take on form and position keeping Perth down.

Melbourne (6) v Wellington (7): 6 point swing. We win, keeps us in touch, we lose, potentially drops us 6 points behind and thats too much to catchup.

Sydney (5) v Queensland (2): Queensland to take keeping us in touch if we take the points against Melbourne.

Newcastle (4) v CCM (1): Who cares as long as some bar-steward clears out Joel Griffiths

These results go as planned and we take our points, that keeps us knocking on the door and in the loop. We lose and I think top 4 is realistically gone.

It's tricky to say whether i would rather Adelaide or Perth win. If Phoenix actually want to make the top 4 then it's good for the top teams to drop points. However, there's gonna be a negative public attitude if we were to go last.
 
Maybe a draw would be good in that one.....
 
And i'd rather the mariners beat Newcastle as we are more likely to get ahead of Newcastle than the Mariners. Though it's all irrelevant if the Phoenix don't start winning (which they are definately capable of).

There are draws in football as well, all of which will help us.

And, if we beat Melbourne, we are right back in the hunt.

Still, makes me wonder if Plodder didn't gift Petrovski and the Mariners those points, and Old's shocker on Bridges on the weekend. Three points lost right there.

All we need to do is beat Melbourne by at least 3 to go above them and will pick the others off one by one before the season is out!!!
