our last rebuild took 5 years to start paying off, because we have completed 3 years of the current rebuild I thought it would be wise to compare the current rebuild to our only successful one at the same time period 2010.
young guns
2010
(all Australian potential)
nat fyfe, Shill, walters, barlow, ballantyne, mayne (made a 40 squad)
campaigners
spur, deboar, suban, Ibbotson, mzungu, Sutcliffe, zac clarke
2019
all Australian potential
brayshaw, cerra, hogan, pearce, ryan, langdon
campaigners
blakely , logue , cox, banfield, darcy
I believe that apart from the freak called Nathan fyfe our young talent of todays rebuild is better purely because of depth, a higher amount of genuine A grade talent to campaigner ratio.
Its in more useful positions aka three of our future best players of the young cohort aren't pressure forwards instead their key position players or midfielders (besides liam henry is apparently a good small forward so maybe we have that sorted).
Fremantle 2013 grand final side

Int: 1 Hayden Ballantyne 8 Nick Suban 21 Michael Barlow 27 Lachie Neale (sub)

I don't know about you guys but I see a lot of campaigners in that side.
But I ask the bigfooty community what are you opinions comparing the rebuilds personally I think weve done a better job however perhaps 1 more A grade talent is needed.
