And this has been Ross Lyons greatest flaw! His inability to see or recognize this.Agreed. Successful clubs over the years have all debuted a decent amount of kids and played some young players in good sides for a good amount of games. They always seem to perform well too, most likely because they’ve got the older guys to learn from and come in with less pressure. Compare that to a side that just stacks their team with kids, and all of a sudden they all panick and worry more about their individual performances rather than doing the little things they’re asked to do. It’s why teams like Carlton have been so shit for so long, and Freo being 4 years into a never ending rebuild. You need to blood youth while you’re successful to keep the pressure off them and let them grow in a good winning culture.
