Calm Under Pressure
Even when we were 5 goals down there was that feeling that we would come back
The belief these guys have is sensational .... ok it wasn't a good start but the boys didn't panic and they slowly worked their way back into the game
Such a great attribute

To me the first 3 quarters looked as though they were playing at 80%, similar to the last 3 weeks but when the game needed to be won, the ferocious pressure from the first 7 rounds was implemented to win the game. I'm hoping the plan is to exert as much pressure as required to pick up the 4 points and save the bodies for finals.

OK I didnt see the game,turned radio on 13 points down,though s*** no,mate then told me we WERE 30 down last he heard.Knew we would win then.Years gone by I would not have had that confidence
Seem to have a real belief in themselves to get the job done.
However I can do without giving big starts,or any starts for that matter

i was actually shocked how calm I was. Let alone the boys on the field.
Usually I'd be quite upset after that first quarter, but something was telling me there was a long way to go and the kangas cant keep this pressure up the whole game like us. That being said, I pray we wipe the floor with Carlton for all 4 quarters.

My thoughts echo those that have commented on this thread. Despite being 29 points down at one stage, I was quietly confident we would come back, and the Roos would tire. I certainly didnt expect the game to stay as it did at the start.

Record for 30+ disposal games in a row
Noticed today that Lenny had 32 disposals.
Round 11 = 32 disposals
Round 10 = 35 disposals
Round 9 = 31 disposals
Round 8 = 33 disposals
Round 7 = 33 disposals
That's 5 weeks in a row he's had 30+ disposals.
I believe Sir Robert holds the record ... 10 matches in a row between Round 3 and Round 12, 1998.
Can Lenny keep it up?
