I thought the sniffers were rather keen to impart err.... physical pressure on our blokes (a lot of marginally late, marginally high, borderline excessive stuff), and Acres is certainly doesn't back away from that stuff.
I still think sides cling to the trope that we're soft but what I saw on Saturday Sunday suggests otherwise.

It would be unfair to say that our softer players were playing for St Kilda.  Pitto certainly had his way with TDK though and I thought that he was looking forward to the final siren midway through the second quarter.

Lyon is never reluctant to resort to questionable tactics but their attempted physicality backfired, like most of Lyon's plans.

I don't think that we've ever been soft but there has certainly been a perception that we are.  The addition of Ainsworth, Hayward, Florent, Dean, Byrner, Ison and Derksen has hardened us up. 

I think that confidence plays a part too.
