These 3 wins have been on the back of guys playing for each other.

We are starting to see an end to individuals celebrating their goals like there's no tomorrow.

This is a positive sign.

Score the goal, turn around and acknowledge your team mates and get back to the square...Hope to see more of it...

Ignoring Murphy yes?

I was thinking just that when I watched the replay the other night.

There's more of a 'just doin my job for the team' vibe now when guys kick goals instead of the old 'look at me, aren't I so f**king great?'

Murphy was the only one I can remember carrying on a bit after he kicked a goal.

I can't understand why you guys would single Murphy out. The guy hadn't nailed a set shot in the AFL for about 3 years. Even I got off the couch for that one.

Besides if he is alone in being guilty of an individual celebration it's only because Pavlich didn't kick a goal. He had no reason to bring out the signature 'bend the knees-lean back-pump the fist-war cry' move of his...

*Sits back and waits to be called a Pav hating Murphy apologist*

You're a Pav hating, Murphy apologist

I had no issue with Murph celebrating the all-inportant first goal of the final quarter. It wasn't quite the sealer, but it gave us our biggest lead of the match.

I reckon the OP is right. There does seem to be a bit of an indication that the players feel that they have a job to do, and that the job isn't over 'till the final siren. Encouraging signs of belief, maturity and team spirit.
