I am officially on the FINALS BANDWAGON. Jump on now. All reservations you held can be thrown out the window. I refused to entertain the thought until last week but thought Id better wait until tonight. We belted Brisbane. Confidence is back. GET ON THE BANDWAGON NOW!

Rest of our season:
Richmond
Collingwood
Melbourne
West Coast
Adelaide
Bulldogs
Saints

Chance in every single one of them. Im on the bandwagon. GO THE DONS!!!
 
It's going to be extremely tough - very unlikely but will be happy if we just keep remaining competetive and win a majority of our games.

Don't think we will make it but where there is life there is hope, would be good to win the next couple to make it interesting. They say because the top 3 have won so much 10 or 11 wins will make it.

Apparently before the West Coast game we were 250/1 to make it now we are something like 4.50/1

I like your optimism but we won't make the finals, simple as that.

4 weeks ago you probably thought we'd be lucky to win 2 of our next 4 games. 16 points later we are 2 games and percentage outside of the 8, with a good draw, having seen Adelaide lose their best two forwards today, comprehensively beaten Brisbane and having seen the side stabilise over the past month. My optimistic side was brutally suppressed for most of this season but it has escaped its captive and is back in full voice! Big crowd next week against the Tigers and we should be able to bury them. Still one week at a time but finals are on the cards! Jump on now.

I have bolded the two that I expect us to win!! and have underlined the ones that are 50-50 with only game I would expect us to lose is the Bulldogs game! so if I'm right that will be six more wins that would give us 12 wins!

On this forecast I expect us to finish one or two games outside the eight!! but as long as we are winning we are a chance!

I expect us to win against the Tigers, Demons, Eagles. Every single other one is a 50/50. If we could just get passed the Pies I reckon we will certainly win the 2 after that. STOP! Got to stop myself from getting too far ahead of myself. One week at a time. Bring on the Tigers. If Richo doesnt get up then we are an even better chance! Wow am I excited tonight. We have been in the football wilderness for too long.

I share your excitment!!

Could someone please advise what is wrong with Richo
 
Richmond have had the wood over us the last couple of times we've played them in big occassion football so they are going to be a much tougher proposition then some are predicting, especially if they win in Perth tommorow. Remember it was only a couple of months ago we gave them a 8 goal head start.

Hamstring starin. Most likely to come back next week. I fully expect us to get over the Tigers. Their team is pathetic. Unfortunately you can never lock in a win against them. Hird farewell game comes to mind....:mad:
Anyway, we'll see how they go tomorrow but even if they do get up, don't under-estimate how horrible the Eagles really are. Massive match next week! Watch the bandwagonners get on now.

You will officially be disappointed. Sorry to say.

Im sorry also. Pessimist or realist? Who knows but Ill enjoy our wins and feel we have genuine reason to get excited now. Hopefully you are proven officially incorrect. Tigers, Pies, Demons and Eagles. There's another 16 points and 8 straight wins! Watch Adelaide slide out of the 8. Havent seen the Saints fixture but hopefully it is tough. Brisbane will probably get in simply because of their home ground advantage.

Down the track when you look back i think you'll agree that finishing around where we are now is better than finishing 8th or 9th.

Are you referring to draft picks or that our team might get ahead of themselves? If anything the extra wins will give them confidence and it would be great for our kids to experience finals action. 9th is always a disappointment but Im eyeing off the top 8;)

I love the Essendon Football Club and would love to see them to play finals football, but i just don't think we're ready nor good enough. And yes, i was referring to draft picks although i'm not supporting tanking or anything like that in any way.
All the group is wanting to achieve at this point in time is getting games into younger players and developing as a football side and i think that's exactly what we should be doing. Finals is the last things on our mind

Realist. We have purple patches. It happens when they're young.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think we'll have the consistency to make finals. I'm just very excited about the fact we've won four in a row and are showing good signs.

4 wins in row is good consistency from a young side. It is a long purple patch also. Lets hope it continues because I can sniff finals in the distance....

Can barely remember it but did it involved Melbourne Sydney and West Coast which we won by 2, 1 and 1 point respectively?
Cant remember the other team. Richmond perhaps?

Very different team from last year though. Still have so many young guns to come in! The future is bright for us.

Brisbane
Richmond
Sydney
West Coast

We then lost to Richmond R21 when we could still of made the finals.

I think we're still a slim chance, I'm just taking it one week at a time.

Im trying too also. One loss could shatter my dream though...will get Hocking, Hislop back over the next few weeks and perhaps even Dempsey.
 
I think some of us are underrating the Pies. We could get lucky and catch them on a down week but they are going to be pushing for a top four spot and will be relentless vs us.
Still if we are lucky with injuries and keep up our form, we're a realistic chance, especially as Adelaide and Brisbane might be struggling.
 
OK BOYS! I'M ON!
the last month has been convincing, the win tonight over the lions was awesome and the draw ahead suggests to me that it's definitely plausible. Bulldogs is the only game im righting off! by my calculations ... we're in!
the boys are playing with spirit, the game plan has fallen into place and the games are there for the taking. BOMBERS ARE SURGING!
get on the train now!

Well done to the bombers. Your team is playing with fire in the belly. If Richmond play like they did against Carlton your boys will give us a flogging. Can you send some of what's in the water at Windy Hill to Punt Road? Bit hard to get Knighter down the pipes I'd reckon.
