Setterfield was the bigger body SOS got to help Cripps and is still a project but appears more comfortable doing a curtailing job or playing on a wing. Apart from having a mature body you have to have someone who can get the ball 30 times and have that bit of class to hurt the opposition, you just cant stick 3 meatheads in the middle with Cripps and expect results vs the quality opposition midfields.
Agree re Couch but losing faith fast in the thinking the likes Of Setterfield, Kennedy, Dow types will come on and provide the support Cripps needs. They are still young and expecting them to just come on is wishful thinking at best.
We invested heavily in kids thru the middle and apart from Walsh who is a freak the rest seem still a while away from giving us the instant boost we desperately need to compete with the majority of teams. And this issue is now compounded with Kreuzer out.
If somehow we managed to do with loins did and secure a Neale type reckon we would be a totally different proposition they we are.
It’s frustrating as the attack and defence seem to be areas we can compete and will get better yet the midfield is still way too shallow imo.
