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

[Beerfish]

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

Why on earth would we play him down back? His one (and maybe only?) wood is in the middle, where he added a lot to our team early.

It was a stupid joke, because we play people out of position, and up until last week ignored an in form Baldwin.

edit: And have ignored him (Baldwin) again.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Is he actually ready or still 3 weeks away?

yes

 

[Zach Package]

Reckon you can trace the breaking point of the season back to Will’s foot break.

Yes we’ve won games after but without the same balance and method in the middle.

Would have been a great fireblanket on Tom Green

It makes no sense not to play him after 20 odd in the VFL 2 weeks ago unless he is injured

They thought he was one game short. Yes he had a decent game but he still needed the run. I think they are right in this instance but where wrong when doing it with Shiel and now Stringer which Scott admitted to in his press conference last night.

 

[Old Campaigner]

He’s coming back from an injury that stopped him doing any kind of fitness work, it’s probably not surprising they’re giving him time.

The VFL bye was bad timing too.

I say, don't risk him against the Pies, get him cherry ripe over summer.

If he wasn't fit enough it makes sense but as you said, it should be the way with all players. After a good VFL game, more training and being named an emergency the last 2 weeks youd assume he was right to go

I do not get carried away with being named emergency. For some reason lots of players get named emergency that never play.

 

[naraku]

Rusty after a while on the sidelines, but I still see some better structure in the midfield with Setters playing.

10 tackles as well.

 

[ant555]

Had a couple of moments but that is him. Thought he was okay at 72% game time. Tough ask to come back into the side for the last game and the side is already shot.

 

[Vander18]

Thought our best footy was early in the year when he was a big part of the midfield. Midfield group looked more balanced with his ability to both stick and absorb tackles. Persevere.

As an aside….can’t help but think his frame could handle another 3-4 kg. Anyway, he seems strong enough regardless.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Did a good job on Nuke today.

 

[Happyskeret]

Solid 4 quarter effort. I believe he is probably the most underrated player we have on our list. He has good disposal skills he is also defensive with his tackling pressure and uses his bigger frame to advantage and great endurance. He has no hesitation in pushing forward and seems to be an intelligent footballer. I really like him.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

not sure who he was but that chase down tackle on the wing was chef’s kiss.

I continue to see him as one of the top 5 most important to the team. Gun.

It was no coincidence when he and Shiel got injured last year we started losing. The only two matured big bodied mids we have.

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

Did exactly what the ringmaster asked for today. A great job of doing your role. I hope he can do it next week because a lot will be asked of him.

 

[naraku]

Providing cleanerances and tackling in and around the ball was crucial last season and again today.

Very important, Setters

 

[jannissary]

my boy!

he adds a level of physicality that we've needed for a while tbh. love it

 

[AnGus BurgerFries]

How does the board rate his kicking? I think (thought?) of him as that typical strong bullocking/blocking/tackling presence around stoppage that makes a huge difference in our midfield, but that type of player generally isn't the most skilled operator so I assumed he wasn't great by foot.

I can't remember many glaring turnovers, does he always default to the safe sideways options or is he a better kick than I thought?

Was surprised by his pace at one point - 2 recos didn't slow him down

He's not a great kick, but is usually reliable.

 

[ghostdog]

Not being named in the bests is a travesty. His third and fourth quarters were pivotal in getting us the win.
