This is an important match!
Win: Springvale should be able to beat Coburg so the Bombers will go ahead of Tasmania and Geelong into 6th and maybe 5th if we have a better percentage then Springvale or Springvale lose.
Loss: We will drop out of the 8 to 9th and frankston will go 8th.
Go Bendigo.

THE Bendigo Bank Bombers' run of six consecutive wins ended yesterday with a heartbreaking five-point loss to Frankston.
The loss cost the Bombers their spot in the VFL top-eight, with Frankston moving back into the eight at the Bombers' expense.
Had the Bombers been able to pinch victory, it would have guaranteed them a finals berth and had them sitting in fifth position with a real possibility of finishing in the top four in their inaugural season.
The Bombers started slowly at the Frankston Oval and could only register one point in the first term, while Frankston kicked three goals.But kicking against the breeze in the second term, the Dolphins piled on seven goals to three to lead 10.8 (68) to 3.3 (21) at the long-break.
``All over the ground, we just couldn't win the ball,'' Bombers' coach Peter Banfield said.
``Our second quarter was s...house _ it was very poor.''Banfield labelled the second quarter one of the worst quarters of football the club had played this year.
``We didn't go and win the ball; we were second to the ball and our midfield was terrible.''Banfield asked his players to ``look inside themselves and see what they could find'' at half-time.
His players responded and cut the margin to 37-points at the last change before staging a comeback that almost gave them an unlikely win.
The Bombers kicked 6.4 to 1.2 with the breeze in the last term, but the Dolphins' solitary goal was enough to ensure them a second victory over the Bombers this season.
``Our second half was enormous, but we have to play football for longer than 60 minutes,'' Banfield said.
``We were a chance to win, but we didn't deserve to.
``You can't play football for 60 minutes and expect to win games.''
Nathan Lovett-Murray kicked three goals for the Bombers, while Courtney Johns and Guy Campbell, who earned a late call-up to the side, kicked two each.
Toby McGrath, who played on the wing and in the midfield, and Aaron Henneman in the ruck were the Bombers' only four-quarter contributors.

If only we played the whole match like we played the 2nd half.
The score would have then been.
Bombers: 12.8.80
Frankston: 2.4.16
Oh well. I still think we can make the finals. We have coburg next week who beat springvale by 8 Points I think.
Just disappointing that we beat top 8 teams and we lose to the 9th place team who hadn't been playing well.
