This is what Cal Twomey said about Setterfield in his draft year.

Setterfield has pulled out of contests and hasnt shown me he is combative enough at senior level. He will pick up possies at VFL level playing on kids from the burbs because he is better than VFL hackers but has never looked like that hardened warrior type we need to help Cripps. We needed more ballsy players like Steele and Adams from GWS....

One of the most complete midfielders in the draft, eh? Wow. What happened!!

I would love to see that in him, wish he could bring some of that to his game now. Do you think it's a confidence thing? That's how he looks to me, not confident maybe scared of making a mistake? I don't think he lacks courage.

Maybe there is a use by date on coalface mids...watched a bit of Nat Fyfe and his goal kicking exploits in particular and it was like Cripps MkII...he looked like an old man with gout trying to make contact with the ball and the years of carrying Freo look like they have done for him as well. He had more ball than Cripps but 2/3 of his possies were handballs and the run seems to have gone out of his legs too. The old Freo had 4 big bodied mids and were fearsome now its just Fyfe, his equally old mate Mundy and some kids along with no big Sandilands anymore to make life that much easier.
Its a position that needs refreshing more than most and having a group of players capable of sharing the workload...
Judd was another victim of burnout after leaving the mighty west coast midfield and doing it solo around the world with us...

I don't think he lacks courage.Walsh contests like its a natural part of his makeup and he just hates losing a contest, Setterfield doesnt have that in his skillset IMO. Doesnt mean he cant be used in another position which is less demanding but you need that manic contested type in the middle who just will themselves to win the ball at all costs...

He's played a total of 39 games, coming into his 5th season (0 games in 2018). If you look at length of time on a list, it seems like he's been around for a while, I guess he has. But he's played bugger all senior footy, in a very stop start, interrupted manner - this point would be the first thing that comes to my mind as to why he hasn't really lived up to potential. My 2 cents.

Im confused....
Club would naturally deny it. Can't admit to playing a player with a back fracture.

Nathan Jones is out with a Hammy
Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 9: Carlton vs Melbourne - WASurfer - 05-14-2021
Nathan Jones has played some good games against us but I'd say he's the least of our worries. Might be the time this week to keep Levi in the side and play him back....he did it a couple of seasons ago I think when Jones was injured and did okay. Either that or Parks will have to play on probably McDonald which will be a huge ask for a guy playing in about his 5th game of footy.
