Reset Rants

[Lods]

We finished dead last before we embarked on this rebuild and we weren't bullish about the future in the year Malthouse got sacked.  I said four years ago for a reason.  We had sacked Mitch,  Jeff,  Laidler, Waite had walked,  Carrazzo was retiring ellard pulled the pin.

We said back then it would take years not because the club told us, but logic stated it.

No we didn't ???

We finished 13/18 in 2014, not good but an injury hit season from memory.
The rebuild was declared in April 2015 and straight away sucked the life out of the team as far as season 2015 was concerned.
What the thoughts of many of those players were at the time who were on the fringe can only be imagined.... but it wouldn't have made for productive football.
Over 25 and you would know the chances of you being around when the club next had success would have been slim.
The turmoil around the coach only added to the problem

We cant change the date of the start of the rebuild to coincide with the point where list changes were starting to be made so it fits the narrative of finishing last.
The rebuild and planning for it commenced when the club declared it in April.
And doubtless to say.... the emphasis on performance under Barker would have been more concerned with "list management" than wins
