Top 8 out of 11 make the finals

Proving you are the best team=Consistency...

Beating the best team at the end of the season...where they really playing their best team??

Beating the best team in a 3 game series after making it through the first round and then the semis...well that would be a different story..however the point is if you get in with a losing percentage, do you really deserve to be there??

I don't think mediocrity is being rewarded if the 8th team on the ladder make it to the playoffs? So what if the 36ers make it to the playoffs. For the first half of the season they have had a poor win/loss ratio but with huge improvements in the second half, what makes them any worse than teams who have done well up til now and not so well in the second half? For any team to make top 8 from below that position means other teams currently in top 8 have to drop down to make room. To scrape into the top 8 means you really have your work cut out for you to progress further from there. Any team that can come from 7th or 8th to win the championship or even make the grand final, has worked their butts off to get there. Regardless of whether its in the regular season or post regular season. The top 8 format is designed to fit the number of teams in the league into the time frame of the season. Its a fair system that fans of the 8 teams all get the privilege of seeing their team play atleast one playoff game and hence keep their interest level up. Its not likely that any team other than the best will win in the end.

Never rule out Perth but it’s not up to the standard off previous few seasons.
