Blasted by coach Mark Thompson four weeks ago for repeatedly straying from the team's game-plan, the Bombers have responded with three wins from their past four games.
They won every quarter in Sunday's blowout against Collingwood and leapt into the top eight, with Stanton saying the players believed in their coach's formula and now they had to stick to it.
"The belief in the way we're going about it is there and you saw it tonight, that momentum can be pretty strong," he told AFL.com.au.

"It's probably the first match all year where we've played a consistent four quarters.
"After last week we felt things were starting to turn for us and to kick straight for the first three quarters really kept our momentum going.
"The players have a belief that this works. We've just got to stick to it."
After the Bombers' loss to Melbourne in round 13, Thompson said his players had watched each other stray from the game-plan and passively accepted it.
He praised them on Sunday night for "outstanding" discipline that had resulted in back-to-back wins against top-eight opposition and revived the Bombers' finals hopes.
"He spoke about that after the game and that's a standard now, we've got to keep to that," Stanton said.
"By defending and setting up the ground so well that gave us those good scoring opportunities."
With captain Jobe Watson and star midfielder Brendon Goddard sidelined, Stanton captained the Dons on Sunday and was superb, finishing with a game-high 32 possessions and a goal.
Jake Carlisle was the star, however, playing forward to boot a career-high four goals and take a club-record 19 marks.
"He played on instinct, you could see he had a free mind and he was just jumping at the footy and taking marks," Stanton said.
"He's just so important to us and that's what we've probably been trying to remind him the whole year – if you play on instinct you're as good as anyone in the competition.
"He's probably been let off the leash, if you want to call it that, in the last couple of weeks and you can just see the freedom in him."
