I said similar about Boyd earlier in the season, but that was after his first AFL game, where he stunk it up. Thats not unusual company to be in, given Kade Simpson and even Joel Selwoods debut where the numbers werent high, the clanger count was, but some players are worth persevering with.
Through sheer lack of other options, Setters passed 50 games as an AFL player this year, and whilst I am unsure what role he can play (like you say) I don't even know what he does well aside from be tall...
His best games, where when he played as a lock down backman a couple years ago or thereabouts.
People still had a go at him because of his low possession count, and maybe the 1 disposal error he made, but overlooked that his opponent did SFA.
He has played good games, but just not enough in a row, in the same position, to make a sustained case for him.
