Not sure where I read it (maybe the Newsletter that was posted out). But a big deal was made of improving our mental toughness in the offseason. Firstly so we continued to hang in games and give ourselves a chance, and secondly so that if we got in a position to bury a team, we would go on with it.

Have to say in all 4 games this season, I have been impressed in our ability to not get smashed in the second halves against North and Collingwood, despite playing some terribly skilled football in the first halves, the come back in round 1 and today we won all 4 quarters - especially the 4th quarter. I can't remember us doing this early in a season when we are well on top at all (usually we let the other teams back in through a lack of intensity). (maybe someone will pick out a game). Even when we have been winning historically, we have never seemed to go on with it. Is there a steelier resolve this year?
