BRAD Rosen and I are the bearers of glad tidings on Boxing Day as we unload a full-on Brad&Boti podcast, covering the sea of WNBL and NBL games that have been washing over us across this Festive Season. Jade Melbourne is injured, Hunter Maldonado despatched, as we prepare to wind into 2026.

Yes, there's plenty to discuss and on which to pontificate, starting with ladies first and Jade's hand injury and how it potentially impacts Canberra's chance of locking up fourth spot in the WNBL.

We have Bendigo, Townsville and Perth locked in at 1, 2 and 3 - though not necessarily in that order - and had the Capitals pencilled in to join them in the post-season.

But with Sara Blicavs (knee) missing the loss to Perth and now Melbourne out, the door is ajar for Southside Melbourne Flyers to make their Final Four push.

We pick our WNBL Round 11 winners and throw you our Player(s) of the Week before moving across to the NBL.

The door was certainly open for New Zealand to make its Top Six push but instead the Breakers shot themselves in the foot to join Brisbane and Cairns as completely out of the running.

Illawarra too was enigmatic, gutsy in its loss to Adelaide, but then lame in its capitulation in Sydney where not just three Kings but the whole stable-full rode roughshod over the Hawks.

Cairns also was sad to watch in Sydney after starting the round with Jack McVeigh leading the way for a 47-point career night at home.

Melbourne United now are finally starting to worry us a little, their recent form completely at odds with the air of invincibility the team carried in its 9-0 opening stanza.

We have our respective "Favourite Play" of the round and our Player(s) of the round before we even get to our Rosen Rattler and Nagy Nasty.

All this and more is waiting NOW at the click of this link or at Apple podcasts, including a deeper dive into our Top Six selections.
