Long Road Ahead! Rebuild Time?

[RookiePick]

In a very good team his efforts would be glossed over, in our team it stands out how he is going.

I don't think we are that bad, I think the group however love being celebrities in Perth, big fish in a small pond and thats enough for them. Not enough of them have the killer instinct, some certainly do but not enough of them. We are a nice team and I am yet to see in my lifetime a nice team win anything.

Im getting a bit confused by our coach.He took us to a GF quite quickly; GOOD. Then after getting thumped in said GF,thumped in GF replay and thumped [at home] in an Elimination final we find ourselves declaring we are in premiership mode with our best player out and a 36 year old in but basically the same group .Kids not getting much of a run,East Perth playing a crap brand of footy,recruiting average [ Partingtons a spud ] Whats going on???

Exactly. A lot of things aren't adding up and we get the same lack of desire by the team.

Been thinking about how our team would rate on the new AFL Evolution game. Naturally, the people who make the ratings will be clueless and so I will definitely be using my own. I would probably go with:

AFL Best:
Nat Fyfe - 93
Pat Dangerfield - 93
Dustin Martin - 92

MIDS:
Sam Mitchell - 88
Luke Shuey - 88
Andrew Gaff - 84
Matt Priddis - 82
Dom Sheed - 75
Chris Masten - 73
Mark Hutchings - 73
Lewis Jetta - 72
Jack Redden - 66
Kurt Mutimer - 66
Daniel Venables - 62
Liam Duggan - 61
Jordan Snadden - 57
Luke Partington - 55

FWDS:
Josh Kennedy - 89
Jamie Cripps - 77
Mark LeCras - 77
Josh Hill - 75
Jack Darling - 75
Drew Petrie - 74
Simon Tunbridge - 68
Willi Rioli - 66
Malcolm Karpany - 63
Tom Lamb - 61
Jake Waterman - 60
Matthew Allen - 56

RUCKS:
Nic Naitanui - 86
Scott Lycett - 79
Nathan Vardy - 72
Jonathon Giles - 70

DEF:
Jeremy McGovern - 85
Elliott Yeo - 82
Tom Barrass - 80
Shannon Hurn - 79
Brad Sheppard - 79
Sharrod Wellingham - 79
Will Schofield - 77
Sam Butler - 76
Eric Mackenzie - 76
Jackson Nelson - 73
Francis Watson - 70
Tom Cole - 64
Tom Gorter - 63
Josh Rotham - 60
Paddy Brophy - 59

Felt like it would be a helpful exercise to see where the weaknesses lie. Honestly we look shallow across the board at the moment. And yes I am bored.
