The Bombers are headed to the finals and could go a long way to sealing a top-four spot in the next three weeks with games they will be expected to win. Thereafter the Bombers face a number of traditional rivals in some big games. But if the next three weeks go well, James Hird's men should need only a couple of wins in last batch of games to grab that double chance. The round-18 clash with Hawthorn could decide a top-two position.
The run home…
Rd 15: Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium
Rd 16: Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium
Rd 17: Greater Western Sydney at Skoda Stadium
Rd 18: Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium
Rd 19: Collingwood at the MCG
Rd 20: West Coast at Etihad Stadium
Rd 21: North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium
Rd 22: Carlton at the MCG
Rd 23: Richmond at the MCG
The coach says…
“We know that it is a tough road, we have some big games back in Mebourne over the next nine weeks against some really good quality teams. We are just really looking for consistency across our performances, to keep training hard and keep playing the way we did for part of the game all night which will hopefully lead to where we are on the ladder.” James Hird 27/6/13
