Of course, we may be totally wrong. But based on our predictions, Blues (who have a game in hand) will miss out

If this is how it ends, it has been a season of progression nonetheless. But let’s hope Blues can find their scoring boots and scrape into the play-offs and give us an end of season lottery.
