There's no clear definition as to what actually constitutes a rebuild/reset etc. My view is that it involves a whole-of-club approach, from top to toe, across all departments, all teams etc. A stated aim wrt culture, belief, values that is hopefully rigorously adhered to and followed through. A very particular way of looking at a footy club as a genuine holistic entity.
If you're just going through the motions, and taking your allotted 1str rounder, 2nd rounder etc. I'm not sure that's a rebuild. And if you happen to be crap for a few years, and get lots of 1st rounders, taking the "best available", I'm not sure that's a rebuild. Changing coaches every 30 seconds IMO resets the rebuild.
