AFL Player #12: Will Setterfield - Re-signed for 2025

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024?
2024 My Boy Draft: Pick 17, mcgrath_truther

 

[carnthedons]

Midfielder, taller than 6ft, tackles, blocks, I’m so uncomfortable seeing one of them in our jumper

 

[andleanback]

Why draft him at pick 1 when you can pick him up for a future 4th!

 

[Old man fletch]

He’s what we’ve been crying out for for years.

We recruited a big bodied mid and actually played him as a big bodied mid. Crazy strategy under the new coach

 

[srobbo]

This bloke wow. What we’ve been screaming out for & compliments our midget fleet. Is clean & composed & damaging fwd of centre.

 

[carnthedons]

Future 4ths seem to be great trading currency for us

 

[Yoda_]

4/6 Brownlow votes me thinks

great stuff

 

[Chief Hopper]

Setterfield was immense against the Gold Coast.

I just can't believe it's taken since 2017 when Jobe retired that we actually got a big bodied mid into the club.
Essendon has literally held itself back for the last 6 years not getting such a player. Mitch Hibberd regardless.

Will be interesting to see how Setterfield and Stringer work together as the season goes on.

Stringer is playing as a permanent forward from now on i thought

yeah.
I doubt we see Stringer do much more than 25% centre work. I'd be surprised if he does any in the early rounds.
Still a good card we can play if we need a quick clean break from the centre if he still has that ability.

Setterfield - Shiel - Stringer at a centre bounce would be a strong setup to counter the bigger sides (Cripps, Walsh, Kennedy for example)

Yep, Stringer playing forward for most games whilst Setterfield is on field.
Can see Stringer being a midfield impact player though. That exceptional 2021 season can't be denied.

Clown McClure . This is so good. Also preceded to have a crack at essendon bringing back tippa

i often comment that the networks should move away from the ex-players who drone on and offer nothing in the way of entertainment when calling a game.
Darcy, Ling, Brown, Dixon, Johnson, Jobe, etc - all terrible.

Then you get clowns who have jobs for reasons unknown who are just as bad.

Will's not a big mid. He's been squeezed out of two teams who have had big inside mids stock surplus.
What is he if not only a big inside mid?

Wonder how he felt on Carlton bringing Eddie back from Adelaide.

21 seconds of unadulterated cringe.

What a catastrophic spud.

 

[Dundalis]

Was there an injury, or just cramp?

There’s 1 reason McClure has a job and friends in the industry.
His old man.

He's absolutely spot on though. Will Setterfield is not a big Matilda.

I hate Mark McLure and his idiot son Sam

Why can’t they just be like Troy McClure?

Dead?

Joking joking

Sam's dad is Geoff McClure.

Mark McClure is the former player

 

[Zach Package]

Sam's dad is Geoff McClure.

Mark McClure is the former player

Satire is clearly not my strong suit.

It’s funnier to think they are related

No, what I said is "he sleeps with the fishes"...
