AFL Rd 22 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Melbourne

[Thryleon]

Ok, I'll say it.

29 touches, (19 contested) 9 tackles, 6 clearances, 1 goal assist and 7 score involvements.

....and his direct opponent is getting a pat on the back?

That's BOG like numbers for Oliver, but we are all congratulating Setterfield on a job well done?

Now don't get me wrong, setters played one of his best games for the year but it's not like he tagged Oliver out of the game. He got the ball himself and put up respectable numbers, but I'm not sure we should rush to sign him up to a long term contract off the back of it.

Oliver's stats don't show the job that Setterfield did, and Setterfield really seemed to have gotten into his head, and should have received more than just the one free kick for getting put on his bum at contests.

I agree regarding signing him up on the back of it, but we do require some sort of depth until the newbies can come on and one of him or Dow is out at end of year, and simply put, as much as Id rather keep Dow because I see more upside there, they are both behind Carrol in the pecking order for next season, and that means at least one of them must go.

Dow is worth more at the trade table, so he is the one out IMHO.
