WNBL Rankings, Tips8: Lowering the Boom
MELBOURNE's season appears to be on the brink with the Boomers coming off twin unexpected losses to clubs at the lower end of the WNBL table and now hosting sinking Sydney, then facing the might of towering Townsville ... and facing both of those matches without star import Jordin Canada.
Brad&Boti: We have our two-sport 'Rocky'
WE did it! Yes, no more phantom guests disappearing at recording time for our Brad&Boti podcast. This week we secured Australia's two-sport queen - AFLW best and fairest, premiership player, WNBL champion and Gold Medal winning junior - Monique Conti ... and Brad Rosen and I could not have been happier.
WNBL TotW7: Three Teams on Fire
OK, there is no doubt Round 7 of the WNBL season produced so many amazing results that nominees for our coveted Team of the Week honours were legion. First there was Perth smashing Sydney, then Canberra breaking through, Adelaide securing a 1-1 split and Townsville on fire. It was no easy choice.
WNBL Wrap 7: Caps break drought as big names hit skids
AS a preseason WNBL championship favourite, Sydney had no sooner given its worst performance in a decade in Perth against the Lynx before Southside stepped up with a "hold my beer," only to have Melbourne say, "No, hold mine" as Canberra broke through for its first win. Round 7 was quite the round, Jade Melbourne the stand-out.
Brad&Boti: Kings in crisis, Flames heating up

SYDNEY-sider Brad Rosen - and I don't use that adjective lightly or one-dimensionally - yet again has failed miserably to land us a guest for the Brad&Boti podcast so once more you'll just sadly have to make do with us revisiting both the WNBL and NBL for super-duper expert analysis.
WNBL Rankings, Tips7: Season series on the line
THAT battle for the top four heats into overdrive this week in Round 7 of the WNBL, Perth now boasting a 5-3 win-loss record and its opponent tonight - Sydney - on 4-3. Let's not forget the season opened with the Lynx thumping Sydney 85-71 in Perth, Aari McDonald with 18 points and six assists, Anneli Maley with 21 boards.
WNBL TotW6: Three thrillers, three killers
OVERTIME again, three games decided by a single basket and three others by a total of 85 points, it sure was a fascinating Round 6 of the WNBL and another one where selecting our Team of the Week was no picnic. Sydney winning twice was meritorious but both times by two points suggested the Flames just as easily could have come home 0-2.
WNBL Wrap6: High Octane, High Octane, High Octane
PLEASE WNBL television commentators. Enough with the use of "high octane" as a descriptive term - five times in the first half of the Perth-Melbourne rematch, countless times through Round 6. If you're a friend of a TV caller please buy she or he a thesauras for Christmas. (OK, a copy of "A Type of Life" or "Patty Mills: Beyond Basketball" also would be an acceptable gift.)
Brad&Boti: Josh Roberts, upsets and poor scheduling

OUR guest of honour on this week's Brad&Boti podcast with Brad Rosen and myself needed no introduction ... because she was a no-show! But we had so much to discuss coming out of the WNBL and NBL rounds - upsets, overtime, it was all happening.
WNBL Tips6: Boomers now under microscope
ALL eyes are switched right onto early WNBL pacesetter Melbourne after the Boomers succumbed at home to Perth and now face the Lynx in their home lair this round. Melbourne's past three games have been less than impressive, also barely escaping Bendigo and Canberra who were 7th and 8th at the time.
