This felt even better than beating them by 50 points

This could be an important cog in the building of this team.
To let them hit the front in the last with all the momentum, and then kick 4.3 to nothing is priceless.

Composure.

Yep I agree. Huge confidence builder for this young team. Showed courage.

Not for me... $10 on them to win by 40+

Still, wouldn't trade it for anything.

Stood up in a close one. Kept at it and just found the way to win.

Was a cracking game.

Yeah good call, OP. In a 50 point win, I find myself getting annoyed that it's not 75 points. But when we came back in the last qtr and especially when Drew dobbed that bomb from the pocket, I went close to arriving in my trousers.

Last quarter alone was worth about 50 games experience for the youngins, sort of close pressures games that we have struggled with over the years and weathered it beautifully.

Good to be on the right end of a potential finals hopes slashing.

Today reminded me a lot of the nineties; those many times that sides would rally against us, and hit the front late, only for us to kick the next four or five.

Those glory nights at the 'G.

It's a big positive, in my view. Usually, when sides mount comebacks, hitting the front is the pivotal moment. Only GOOD teams regain the lead and win.

The last quarter today was easily my most enjoyable for years. Great coaching by Scott to move Wells back. Great marking by Pedo and Azza when we needed it. And the best thing was that we finished with great composure, as a contrast to our previous efforts in the same situation against Sydney, Brisbane and Richmond.

Awesome sight after the siren to see almost every player hunched over with pure exhaustion. Great effort!
