There are others for whom the whole "I've had a gutful" routine is de rigueur after every loss or poor performance, and from whom such comments are expected.
We are on a completely different path to what has been tried before. If we assume the club has fixed on a 66 game rebuild, we are 47 games into said rebuild. Even the most cursory examination of AFL/VFL history shows that progress is not linear.
I have no idea whether the Bolton/ slow mo method will work. What I'm saying is that it is simply far too early to tell.
It's a perspective thing...
My position has always been that the "rebuild" tag was used to buy time for a club in crisis.
The folks in charge basically said "this is day one!"....so we now get extra time....even though we were already coming off a fairly low base.
So while I've been quite patient and prepared to look for positive signs I'm struggling to be convinced
"The 66 game rebuild" ...does anyone have a direct quote from anyone saying that's the timeline?
If that is indeed the case then 2/3 into it we should be seeing signs of improvement....it's looking doubtful we'll see a lot in the next 20 odd games.
So after 66 we'll have had minimal progress.
Maybe after a 132 things will be different...but there's no guarantees.
