[boncer34]

Dodoro gets his man for nothing!!!

4 years late.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Welcome Will.

I truly hope you are our inside bull.

 

[Beerfish]

Welcome to the club. Finally.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Don't have one yet.
MY BOY.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Great pickup for you blokes, for nothing really.

Hope he goes well for you guys. Big bodied midfielder acquired. Good luck in 2023.

 

[eth-dog]

Don't particularly rate him but hope he goes well.

I'm afraid this deal, more than anything, exemplifies the blinkers certain people in our football department have. This is the fourth time we have tried to get Setterfield (if you count serious consideration with pick 1 in 2016).

Admittedly, I would have welcomed him when he left GWS and was even open to it last year. Now, it just feels like we have no ideas.

Still, none of that is Setterfield's fault, though perhaps he could have put us out of our misery in 2018.

He's a rounded player without ever having shown at AFL level that he is the bull that we'd hope he is at 192cm. Who knows, maybe he has been kept light to play wing over the last few years. I quite liked what I saw of him in 2020.

I'd like him as part of 3 mids brought on to the list. He is probably not the 1 I would pin my hopes to. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Vindicater]

For free basically as well.

 

[naraku]

And a few points with pick #68.

Good luck kid, we need you

Though we got him for nothing and at worst will be depth & bolster VFL, at best, who knows?

Worth a shot IMO. and his last chance.

 

[Pweter]

Put your head down, leave no stone unturned and see what happens.

Welcome to the club and good luck, i hope it all clicks.

Replacing Ham with Setterfield is an improvement

 

[Lore]

 

[FlyingV]

Love this. Welcome Will, pumped to have you onboard and have been a fan for a while very good business by the club

 

[The Donners]

I’d like to see Setterfield add 5-6kg before round 1.

 

[Hazardinho]

Replacing Ham with Setterfield is an improvement

Anything on ham is an improvement

 

[Hazardinho]

I can’t even lie this trade is one of my favourites in recent times. Fills a need we’ve desperately needed for 6 years now, hopefully he will allow Merrett, Shiel, Caldwell, Parish to be more free. Keeps stringer in the forward line, so that’s a nightmare of a match-up. Most Carlton fans are disappointed, which gives me strength, my life’s desire, enrichment, power. Will never need salt ever again, will be feasting on those Carlton tears.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Good luck lad. Hopefully we can stop banging on about how we need a big bodied around here and he is the man.

 

[TheGrizz]

If he is going to make it, I think he needs to beef himself up to 90-92kgs (87kgs currently).

Carlton slimmed him down to play on the wing. We have plenty of guys to play on the outside, what we are missing is a beef cake that can carve out space for himself or the teammate behind him to win the ball in tight.

That's his go, and his point of difference to get a game next year.

Even at 87kg, when he played inside for Carlton in round 22 & 23, he played incredible. Imagine if he does beef up to say 91/92/93 kg, we have a serious player on our hands.

 

[andleanback]

Welcome will. Will be a good get if we actually play him on the inside.

Was this VFL?

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

You couldn't possibly think this is a negative move by the list management team.
