Look at Parks, Owies and Fogarty and I would add stocker to that list too. From day one they showed the grunt and desire needed at the top level. That’s the recipe to improve our list not using the same tried and tested blokes and watching them
week in week out producing the same below par level.
Setterfield is an injured, fringe version of Bryce Gibbs. Similar height, similar weight, similar profile. Nice ball user, looks laconic, and therefore attracts the same criticisms as Bryce. Ostensibly an inside/outside mid, he ends up being deployed as a fixer / utility, played wherever it suits the team, and this, in combination with injuries, means his AFL life can be summarised in one word : unsettled. He was a building some nice momentum in 2019 and 2020. We won't know if he can take the next step by playing him in the magoos. This is the season to find out IMO.
