Games are: (Position in ladder - points in ladder)
Associates(6-37) v Cottesloe(2-59)
Palmyra(3-42) v Wanneroo(9-8)
Wests Scarborough(4-40) v UWA(5-39)
Rockingham(8-27) v Perth Bayswater(10-6)
Kalamunda(7-37) v Nedlands(1-61)
So with 4 games left there is a maximum of 20 points available for each club. This means Nedlands only need a win to guarantee a finals place, Cott need two wins or one win with other results going their way.
This leaves the final spots open for any of the clubs in 3rd-8th spot, even Rocky can make it with a good run at the end.
The favourites to make it will have to be Paly & Soaks, with both teams playing both Wanneroo & Baysie in the last four games where they will expect to get maximum points from those games, though Wanneroo showed this week against Kala that they are not going to just roll over.
However, as teams have been finding the lower teams have the ability to scare and even beat those above them and cause an upset, Paly, Cott & Wests all face Rocky in the final four games. An upset could spell game over for Paly or Wests.
Wests, UWA & Kala will have a struggle to keep themselves going with a hard run in, all of them play one of the top two, and then a minefield of two or three games against each other as the middle tables teams continue the fight.
Rocky need to overcome at least three of Baysie, Cott, Paly & Wests to stand a chance, winning all four may seem out of the question, but emotion is making this club fight hard, if they don't make it, I'm fairly sure they'll upset one of the clubs higher on the ladder.
Game of the round will probably be Wests v Uni, but Kala v Neds & Soaks v Cott will also be hard fought games.
Expect Paly & Rocky to get wins against the bottom two clubs who are struggling as they find form during a rebuilding phase.
