In fact the more I think about it, the more I think the opposite is better. Leading most of the game shows you are doing a few things right and have the opposition's measure.
It may come down to a personal preference. Personally I was happier with yesterdays effort rather than the Gold Coast game.
We were finishing with momentum.
Half way through the last I was confident we'd actually win and even at the death we could have done so with a kick off the ground.
How it's commentated on and reported is different too.
v Gold Coast-"They've forgotten how to win"
v Melbourne- "They're never out of the game."
