Rebuilds never seem to happen in a linear path. We've had some good wins this year, we've had some very poor stretches of form, we've made mistakes but we've found a few players. We've had one off season in this rebuild. Eight wins after winning four last year is a reasonable result, although not one the club should be content with. Tough decisions need to be made and for me Ross is two years into his first ever rebuild - if it was a completely unproven coach they'd get significantly longer outside of Mark Neeld level shiteness which we certainly haven't been on a consistent basis this year.
We are at least 5 new players (maybe more) and about 50 games of experience as a unit off being able to judge the success of what we are trying to achieve here. At the moment we can only look at whether we're making progress. On days like this it's hard to believe we are but overall the season is an improvement on last year which is probably a pass mark at this stage of a rebuild.
