IS the WNBL season of Geelong Venom in disarray, do the Lynx have the team to topple Townsville, has South East Melbourne announced itself by beating United in the NBL and is Melbourne floundering? Brad Rosen and I tackle it all at our Brad&Boti podcast this week.

The difference between a 7-4 season and a 3-8 season for Geelong is two overtime losses and now two one-point defeats, the latest last round to Canberra.

The battle is well-and-truly on to fill a coveted Final Four berth behind Townsville, Perth and Bendigo.

And how well are the defending champion Spirit travelling considering veteran centre Marianna Tolo has now withdrawn from the lineup due to her pregnancy?

Is Han Xu going to make the Lynx unstoppable, her interior presence opening the perimeter for star shooters such as Amy Atwell, Alex Ciabattoni, Anneli Maley and Co?

Or will Townsville, so deep it is bringing its imports off the bench, have the answers? They meet this coming round so some early questions will surely be answered.

But right here in this episode, we answer our weekly Player and Plays of the Round before our bold predictions for the upcoming series.

We switch our focus to the NBL and the 36ers' stunning road win in Perth where they climbed off the ropes to make Bryce Cotton's first trip back to the west memorable.

It already was, the Wildcats' organisation and fans welcoming Bryce back with appropriate fanfare and recognition. But early celebrations turned sour as Isaac Humphries blocked David Duke and Flynn Cameron outsmarted the Perth defenders to cement a memorable road victory.

This win is a huge boost for the 36ers who next host the once seemingly-invincible Melbourne in what should be a classic 1v2 showdown this round.

What's going on at Illawarra? Brad has some strong views and once again, our respective views of the Top Six are divergent after the Final Four.

New Zealand has reared its head now too.
