Not happy with Setterfield's work ?

So is it confirmed as back, I had heard he may have a new unrelated injury?

PP...yeah happy having Setterfield but he seems to play more outside/wing than in the guts. Kennedy seems to be regularly in the best in the VFL (don't get much of it over here) but there seems to be other guys that get a berth in the team ahead of him....just curious as to whether there's something about his game that's not up to standard? I guess we'll see later this arvo when final squads are announced.

I guess we'll see later this arvo when final squads are announced.So far Setters hasn't had the physique to be an inside player: he had the height and he wasn't slow, but he was a stick figure against The Mountain. As a result he has been an outside player, much in the way the young Kouta was. Setters hasn't taken many big marks, but he does have decent hands. In time he will develop. His injuries have stunted his development so far, no doubt.
At the moment he isn't really doing enough (my humble opinion). However, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he gets his body and mind right.
I am hopeful of seeing improvement in numbers and intensity as the season goes on. If that doesn't happen, then I will be asking questions.
Kennedy has been doing well enough in the VFL, but he hasn't been tearing games apart. As an inside player with a big body, I was expecting more power inside, like Cripps has. I haven't seen much of that yet. He has been quite reasonable at getting the ball outside, but that is not what we were looking for from him. His marking is OK, but his defensive efforts to this point have been substandard. His kicking for goal has not been particularly reliable to this point: think Levi Casboult. I have not given up on this guy yet, but I am looking for clearances, tackles and goals.
Last year, against the Tigers, he had 7 possessions in the first quarter before getting injured. Three of those lead directly to scores. If he can keep that up, then he will have a spot.

Nope.
He was 196cm when we drafted him.
