Momentum

[dmc82]

Am I the only one who appreciates when Steve Johnson emerged from the rooms at 3 quarter time on a whole other level?

We all sat in silence as he was stretchered off. I don't think any of us had dismissed the thought that he could be gone for next season too. I know it was sitting uncomfortably with me. When he reappeared, the MCG lit up. The feeling was a little surreal. I turned to those around me and said one thing... "momentum". It was the first shot fired in Grand Final week. There have been a few since and there will be more to come, but it was the first big step towards Glory.

I'm almost certain that Johnson walked back out to stroke the ego or stake his claim for a spot this week, but what he achieved was so much more.

As much as a month ago I would dare not believe it, but I feel it is ours to lose from here, we've got all the momentum.

The emotion i felt when he emerged from the rooms i can't explain.

Magic. A perfect moment that said I am down but not out, just watch me on GF day. Standing ovation.

I was out having a dart and feeling upset about stevie J and 3 quarter time, and I heard this HUGE cheer from coming from inside the G. Went back in, took my seat and everyone was so pumped. Will never forget it.
Good OP, settles my nerves a bit.

Seeing him walk out after what looked like a season killer was hard to take in, the guy was like the frigging terminator after getting hit by a truck - slight limp, but eyes always on the prize

I guess it was a little different being at home because we could see the vision in the rooms of him moving his injured knee, so I knew straight away that it wasnt ACL.

But it would have been fantastic being there and hearing the cheer - we even started jumping about the loungeroom when we saw him start to walk up the race!!
