Setterfields main problem for me is his intermittent attack on the ball, he isnt hard enough to be a frontline mid and has been pushed out to a wing where its less contested. Problem is wingers need a bit of toe and need to be able to use the ball well, I'd rather be experimenting with a true winger like Carroll or LOB on the wing as they are better users of the ball and give you that run and carry.
Fisher...dont care what anyone says but he gets a bit of slack cut his way because he is Cripps mate IMHO, he is a good footballer but needs some VFL footy to get some urgency in his game. Looked half a yard behind the flow of play and Freo being a quicker team really exposed him.
I'd be happy to rotate Owies, Durdin, Fisher and Motlop and find the best combo....
Agree with Tonyo on Stocker and Kemp, I think they are more true defenders who can play also in an attacking manner when required. Freo have some smart small forwards and our attack only defenders got caught out not manning up...Schultz, Walters etc should not be getting uncontested possessions and marks.
Time for a rethink on Williams, Docherty, Saad, Newman all playing loose down back.......I'd rather we train up Stocker and Kemp and lose Williams and Newman from defense, maybe Williams can play off the bench but we have to get more defensive minded and help Weitering out who is holding the fort down back. Young has been reasonable and l like what he offers with his flexibility to do a few roles.
We are also one ruckman short on the list IMO...having only a junior apprentice in Mirkov as backup has left us exposed and Young is needed down back, time to get a journeyman type like a Ceglar, Ryder, Sinclair etc who can fill in when needed and also help train Mirkov in the twos.
TDK is a great talent but is always going to struggle vs the bigger bodied types like Darcy and having a readymade who can come in and bang bodies with Darcy types will make it easier for TDK who is suited to part time rucking and also spending time forward.
