Setterfield is clearly the man for this - he has been played out of position on a wing for too long. If another club gets hold of him, I am sure we will be wringing our hands when they put him in the right role.
That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I see Jack SIlvagni more as 3rd tall forward / occasional ruckman, and Setterfield as an inside / outside mid.

Owies skill error to Saad that forced Saad to rush disposal and kick long to a contest was the game. I love Owies pressure acts but his skill execution and lack of hitting the scoreboard is worrysome.

+1. Jack is a pretty good link player between Mids and Forwards too. Setters is an inside mid trying to be moulded into something he is not. Let him train and play in his natural position. It could cost us trying to experiment with him too much

Personally, after Doc going so well last weekend, I'd leave him in there and bring Williams into the HB line to bolster the D50 run.

It could cost us trying to experiment with him too much Having watch SoJ in the ruck, and also watched him play on ball in the VFL in earlier seasons, I doubt he can be labelled experimental.
I suspect SoJ is more of a genuine chop-out for Cripps than Setterfield.

More often than not, and particularly when he has to give an opinion without reviewing the video. King will have a different take on the game by now.
Coaches can't influence contests or skill execution but we were set up to protect the lead.

They throw rocks after the fact, often in ignorance of what is happening in the video replay, sometimes aided with a little selective post-game editing!
Maybe they have become too comfortable and grown fat at the trough, leading to shortcuts and a flagging analytic performance.
Daisy is better, but the minute she shows them up they get passive aggressive and shut her down! She seems as yet not to have grown jaded by the game, unlike the exposed timbre in the voice of some!
At times some of "The Old Boys" sound as equally unenthused about the game as they would the prospect of being trapped in a bottle with a fart!

Personally, I think the more A graders and B graders we have that can competently rotate through the midfield, the better off we'll be. As we can see right now, it doesn't take much to get thin in that part of the ground.
