As each week passes Setterfield reminds me more and more of Jab Watson, when Setterfield gains weight and strength he will play very similar game style!

Would need some major buttock development in the preseason!

Setters is showing more than Kennedy? When was that?
Must have missed it....
A fit Kennedy is far from slow. he can play inside or outside and play forward....and he's a footballer.
And he can hit the door of a barn unlike Dow who misses the entire side!
Setterfield has played 8 games this year and averages almost 17 touches a game.
Kennedy has played 2 games and averages 12...with a high of only 16.
So yeah, you missed it.
As for the side, you simply don't pick your 22 most talented players.
You pick 22 players that give you the best chance of winning.
Otherwise you might have 19 midfielders and 3 key backs.
Look, i was pushing for Kennedy to get a game as much as the next guy, but he just didn't deliver. He isn't fit enough, fast enough, or physical enough to demand a spot in the best 22 at this stage.

Ah, but how unlike you to miss the point - equality of opportunity.
Dow, Setterfield, LOB gifted games (particularly the last two) even when the contribute jack...Dow's kicking is so bad he should play 2s until it is fixed.
Kennedy gets left in the seconds for an eternity (even when Setters out), then dumped after 2 games, 1` of which everyone was utterly dismal....
Thirty possession last week yet will be overlooked again....

Equality of opportunity is a lovely phrase.
Perhaps you could work out what that means exactly.
If Kreuzer is playing well in the 1's. and Phillips and Lobbe are getting BOGs in the 2's, do we pick them all to play ones? They are the best performed players after all and deserve a game yes? No. 1 spot (2 at best available) and until they outperform Kreuzer, they could win the VFL B+F, but won't get a game.
Same thing with Kennedy.
Bigger bodied, inside mid position
1. Cripps
2. Curnow
3. Setterfield
4. Kennedy.
We can not have 4 in the same side, so we take the best 3.
We do not pick Kennedy ahead of Lob, Dow or Mitch McGovern.....because they play a different role!
If Kennedy can turn into a small forward, he might get a game.
If Kennedy can become an elite runner with sublime foot skills, he might get a game.
Based on his current output, he does not push anyone out of the side playing a similar role.
Geddit?
