erm... some of this maths is very wrong too

If we won 6, and the jets won 4, drew 1, and lost 1, we would overtake them. That's very different than them needing to lose four times!

Some people seem to forget that all the teams will be playing each other - someone has to drop points, not everyone can take 3 every round!

Obviously we're not going to go 6 from 6, but it will be interesting to re-jig the table at the end as if we had, and see if we would've made it. I think you'll be surprised. 

Correct, my mistake - Jets do not need to lose all their games (but I would be happy if they did).

However, as per your maths, if we win 6 and they win 4, we would win two more games than Jets, which is what I said above.

We would need to overtake Perth and one of Victory or Sydney FC, which is a tad harder.
