Contract Status: Out of contract 2024?

[Blind Turn]

I think they need to hit F5 on his medical report

The only player they didn’t give commentary on in the injury report

 

[Duckworth]

So he's not injured?

So he's not injured?

Still 2-3 weeks. But yeah, might just need to refresh their spreadsheet.

They missed his because the weeks column just said ##### and no one could work out what it meant.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Midfielder Will Setterfield is progressing well in his rehab from a knee injury, and after a few minor setbacks is hopeful of a return to play in the next couple of weeks.

Ha, ‘progressing well’…

So he's hopeful but what do the medical staff think...

 

[BomberManU]

Playing VFL this weekend, apparently.

Massive.

Has clearly been best 22 when fit. There will absolutely be a debate as to how that midfield mix works and whether he has a spot with Durham, Caldwell, Merrett, parish when we’re all fit - but the simple fact is we’re not all fit, and rarely are.

We’ve been dropping some middle of the ground rotation guys recently in parish, Duursma, Hobbs, so just having another AFL guy who can go through there soon available is big.

 

[Beerfish]

Comes back in against Carton next week if he gets through you'd think?

Kind of doubt it. Has missed a fair bit of footy. Can only see it happening if we get another midfield injury. Or he plays a blinder in the VFL.

Who do you drop? Would be handy against them, just not sure who’d go out

Yeah dunno. Good problem to have.

 

[Zach Package]

Has to play next week, talks of not offering him a new deal are ****ing embarrassing

Feels like the bloke is perpetually injured. I wouldn't be rushing to give him a new deal either.

Tsatas comes out of the 23 then you maybe move a player like Menzie to sub and bring in setters. I’d say stringer will spend more time deep if langers misses next week

 

[Blind Turn]

Knee must be a degenerative issue. We’ll probably be patching him up for the rest of his career. You’d think that they’d have rehabbed a ligament issue by now so this is probably a wear more than a tear concern.

 

[ghostdog]

Setterfield's injury + the Martin tag in Q4.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Can play

Looks cooked

 

[eth-dog]

I'm shocked he's injured again.

 

[naraku]

He was really trying to lift us early.

You've really got to consider his future now which sucks since he is a need AND can play.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

Cooked. A real shame.

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

Thought he was good last night (played well, helped our structure)….disappointed to hear he got injured.

 

[faible]

Story of his career. Not a bad player, if he’s fit he’s clearly best-22, but his body keeps letting him down.

Yep. Can't blame us for getting him in, he's a clear need but he spends too much time being injured.
