Yeah, you would because you're fighting in the backyard.
You've got that bond.
You've got that relationship.
You joke around.
That's the mindset of these younger players.
Now, these senior players are looked at as if they're brothers to them, not like the father figure.
So a little bit more, there's a little bit more leeway.
And it's all because they want them to be as comfortable as they possibly can to get the best out of them early on because these kids that are coming in are elite talents.
They've been nurtured since they were 13, 14, 15 to when they get to the AFL, they're ready to play straight away.
And then the clubs understand that.
But this is where they sometimes, they cross the line when it comes to a young fella and the respect they have back to the other one.
The best part is they've both got a relationship.
They're laughing on it afterwards on the bus and you move on from that.
So that's why these young fellas coming in, they're confident enough, they've got the relationship with the older guys that they may react like that where that wouldn't have happened in the past.
You look at the track side of things now.
I think tracks at the stage, with all the pressure coming on, what are they, eight, nine losses in a row?
Nine.
Nine, sorry.
Standards need to be set.
And Lombard, he ran in front of track early in the Ford 50, and it could have been anyone's ball, and he took the advantage and he went with it because he's probably fastest, so he's probably the quicker one to give the ball.
