With cellar dwellers Richmond and Essendon facing off on Friday night,and Port Adelaide and Carlton doing battle 24 hours later,it’s time to check in on how the AFL’s rebuilding clubs are going.

The Cats were one of the few teams,like the Brisbane Lions,who looked at what Logan Morris was and not what he wasn’t,at what he could do not what he couldn’t.
Blues CEO Graham Wright said the club wants more selections in this year’s draft,the last uncompromised one before Tasmania’s entry,but how can they find their way out of the hole they’re in?
Graham Wright helped get the Magpies back into contention after Nathan Buckley left. Can he do the same in the post-Michael Voss era at Carlton?
