Below are just some of the fans’ comments about wins for the season.

Cantrell from Hobart says: The dons will easily make the finals.

Berbatov from Iraq says: We will only lose to the Dogs.

Aboudi from Melbourne says: I think that the Bombers are a real finals chance. If they improve their percentage a bit, they may only need to win 10 games because the top 3 only have 4 losses between them at the moment. Go the Bombers!

Morts from Sydney says: I think we can win another 4 or 5. Hoping to see the likes of Hislop, Hocking, Pears, Dempsey and Daniher back in the side to get a few more games under their belt before the end of the year. Excited about the next generation of Bombers.

Jan Di Pietro from USA says: Going on current form and rate of improvement and considering the young players can only get better, we should pull at least 4 more wins for the season and probably give some trouble to the higher placed teams like the Crows, Bulldogs and Collingwood.

Malcolm Milgate from Melbourne says: Have you seen our draw compared to everybody else’s fighting it out for the eight, win this week and we are one game out of the eight. Carlton will not fire a shot for the rest of the year, Nth will fall away, I can't believe people even mention Richmond and finals! StKilda are our threat, it could come down to the last game of the season Ess V ST Kilda!
