The Tim Gainey-coached roster sits fifth on the ladder with two games to play.

Warrnandyte Venom and Melbourne Univeristy Black Angels – the two sides below it  – have extra games in hand.

But Gainey is confident the Seahawks can book a top-six spot and keep their championship dream alive.

They will play ninth-placed Geelong Supercats and the Black Angels at the Arc in the final two rounds.

They’ve won four of their past five games and feel they’ve reached their peak at the right time of the campaign.

“I reckon it will still come down to the last game. Just to make finals we need to win these last two,” Gainey said.

“You definitely want to be playing your best basketball towards the end of the year and we’ve been lucky enough to have healthy bodies on the court.”

The top two teams will earn a week-one bye with two cut-throat games (third-versus-sixth) and (fourth-versus-fifth) to launch the series.

Both the semi-finals and grand final will be best-of-three contests.

The Seahawks boast one of the tallest rosters. Gainey believes their height gives them an advantage over their rivals.

“I think we have got the most ability as far as to put guys in different positions,” he said.

“Having Jordan (Lingard) helps out Alex (Gynes) to play on the wing a bit. It gives guys a rest too, Simon O’Keefe has a breather and we don’t lose anything.

“We have James Mitchell who is six-foot-six and Ollie is about 6’6 as well. Ollie is running the point now and ever since we’ve done that I don’t think we’ve lost a game.

“It helps out with Jay (Rantall)... he can just be a shooter like he is used to being with the (Australian) under 17 squad and then he’ll play a little bit of point.”
