Setterfield was one of the better players today, MBB, so maybe we haven’t seen the last of him at AFL level. Dow was okay as well.
Not sure what to make of Durdin though. He has good skills by foot but he isn’t the big KPD who’ll kill the ball with a big fist. He tended to drop back as the goal keeper rather than busting packs. He was monstered by Stewart on one of the few occasions he was in a 1 on 1 marking duel with him. Not sure I’d want him playing on Tom Lynch at this stage. But not terrible given this was his first game.

Very disappointing, especially to stuff it up in the last quarter after leading all day.
[1] Mirkov had a bad one. Nick Bryan is a good young ruckman.
[2] Dow had 11 clearances, 27 possessions and 5 tackles. Not a bad effort, everything considered.
Nice to see Setters playing as an inside mid and getting the job done. 34 possessions, 5 clearances and 5 tackles.
Hayes was OK, but not great and Cincotta played very well, but other than that, there wasn't much to get excited about.
We also had a number of kids playing their first or 2nd game, who, alas, didn't do much. Still missing a fair bit of talent out there.
[3] Josh Honey a long way from his best. 11 possessions is just not enough from him.
Jesse Motlop was also disappointing and had no influence on the game at all.
I am really worried about Sam Philip at the moment.
Live Long and Prosper!

Setterfield and Dow play well as inside mids problem is Cripps, Kennedy and Hewitt are better.

Agree, Spotted One. I thought Will H was a chance but I was really impressed with Setters. His reflexes and decisions in tight were brilliant. Actually one of the best, most complete games I've seen him play.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

So good but run over by Essendon's vfl midfield.
Happy for Cottrell to come in for Cerra. Setterfield can be the medical sub.

Not a real fan of Setterfield and his contested work which has always been disappointing, relying on him vs a team like Richmond in an important game would concern me.
Not sure who Essendon had in the middle in the VFL but I want to see evidence for more than one game that he can produce consistent contested football vs some half decent players.

Been burnt by him way too many times. Never again
