Melbourne 95 McDonald 19, Thomas 17, Stiff 16
Cairns 88 Mee 24, Cattalini 16, Boodnikoff 12

Tigers victors by 7 taipans have lost their last three games by 10 points or less, sydney, perth now melb

sixers will have their work cut out for them in cairns especially after the controversial finish to the last game played between them up there.

They will have their work cut out for them also because they would have played the Crocs the night before.

Look what happened in Perth without Brett. I think its a good sign for us that Melbourne had to fight hard for this win against Cairns. I would have expected it to be a pushover game. This means that Melbourne are not as invincible as they have been up til now and with Sydney having to fight harder for their wins lately and the Sixers having recently regained their good form, we can beat any team in the finals series. It all looks good to me.

Or maybe just a case of Melbourne having 11 days off, they looked a tad slow out there. I think they'll be training pretty hard this week and be hard to beat come next week and finals.
