We didn’t fully commit to the rebuild until like 2019. See Wilson, Matera, Hill, Lobb, Kersten, Hogan etc. Waste of picks. Wasted games. Wasted experience.We only had two players play yesterday that were drafted before 2016. Only one of them by us. Both with looooong injury histories.How exactly are we expecting our average experience to be very high when the average player from 2016 is 26 years old and has played 120-50 odd games. And if that’s when we started our rebuild, and everyone else would be less than that it makes a lot of sense why our experience is so low.Had we drafted well during our peak Ross era we would’ve had a much more experienced team/experienced depth but we have no one but Pearce to show for it.Add to that 2x 200 gamers and essentially 3x 100 gamers on the bench and it’s about what you can expect. Again, if we had anything to show for the Ross era, or if we had put games into the players drafted instead of Lobb, Hogan, Wilson then we would have more depth to choose from.TLDR: Failure to fully commit to the rebuild early on + lack of quality players (even as depth) drafted been 2011-2015 while we were still good
