Opinion Is Essendon currently in a rebuilding phase?

[GC2015]

Seen some differing opinions on this recently so I thought it would be interesting to do a poll. What do you think and why?

Currently sitting 16th (equal last) on the ladder with a record of 0-2 and a percentage of 68%. The Bombers rolled out the youngest list in the AFL in round one, but Brad Scott seems unwilling to label this a list rebuild despite the age demographic and having signed a contract extension himself earlier this year for "stability" reasons. They play Port Adelaide tomorrow night and you'd think an 0-3 start to the season will certainly set off some major alarm bells at Tullamarine.

Needs a “No duh” option

If clubs were countries.

Essendon would be Greece.

Both seem to struggle finish building anything.

The problem is Essendon never commits to a proper rebuild.
We tinker with the list, cut a couple of oldies and duds and claim we have done a rebuild whilst at the same time handing out 5 and 6 year deals to underperforming mediocre players and looking at quick fixes and ways to cut the corner.
Now that the leech Dodoro is gone hopefully we see a change of thought.
We really should have traded out McGrath, Parish and Redman when we had a chance

Essendon always find themselves in a weird no mans land where they hang on to hack players on long deals who are getting them nowhere (See McGrath and most likely Draper this season) while at the same time fumbling decent draft picks.
