AFL Player 12: Will Setterfield - Welcome to Essendon!

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024?
2024 My Boy Draft: Pick 17, mcgrath_truther

 

[jmoo wan]

Third or final?

yeah, I think so

 

[Keystone agony]

Yes but when do you stop keeping players who can not stay on the park.

When they stop offering that or you can get something in return for them

 

[faible]

And what about if he’s not back in Melbourne before October 31st?

Then you deal with that scenario when it comes up.

It's only October 21st.

Players are still human beings. You avoid firing people on a Friday or just before Christmas because that's a real campaignery thing to do.

Jj just got told he’s delisted and he’s in America. Players know it’s coming they don’t need a face to face. They aren’t going to come all the way into the club just to have a 30 second meeting.

Maybe JJ won't be back in time. Maybe their list manager is a shit bloke.

It literally costs nothing to wait to do it in person.

It's really not that hard not to be a campaigner when you're firing someone who's worked hard.

The sooner the better chance of getting picked up as a delisted free agent. or in the PSD.

Fot a guy like Setterfield, not really. He's well established as a player and any team that thinks about taking him on will invite him to train.

 

[Donakebab]

Delisted, but potentially will be picked up as a rookie SSP.

Bombers make further list change

Club open to opportunity for delisted midfielder.

Love Setters but think it was the right direction. Looks like we will take 2 mids early. Hard to keep him on when he can’t stay fit

A very practical decision. Setters as a rookie is good depth.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

If he goes to dogs and can stay on the park I reckon he compliments their midfield really well.

 

[King Patty]

Rosa making the right call again.

 

[andleanback]

Massive injury he’s a good player but it seems like we might be angling at sharp to come in and play mid. If we can keep him as a rookie I wouldn’t be against it.

 

[Zach Package]

Wild, wild timeline

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Wild, wild timeline

im not sure if we are making the right calls or not from a list management perspective, but as they say"insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" so you cant fault them for actually shaking shit up for a change.

 

[Westlo]

If he goes to dogs and can stay on the park I reckon he compliments their midfield really well.

He'll be really good for them for 10 games.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Right call. He’s depth for us. Can’t be giving him games unless others are injured, it’s just where we are at.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

He'll be really good for them for 10 games.

get him right for the last 10 games and he can be a Aug/Sep specialist

 

[Stopher]

At the Bombers, we call that 'holidays'

 

[Vindicater]

We had to do this after not being able to consolidate our draft picks with a trade. If not we would have not been allowed to take pick #30 into the draft.

 

[Saint]

Gives us the space to use our draft picks and for Will to look at other options and see if anyone is interested.

It's a no-brainer for both. Who cares when or how it's done if it's essentially a good result for both. I doubt he didn't think he was likely to be de-listed. He was probably included in a lot of trade discussions too and was probably informed of this.

It's a professional sport and EFC isn't a charity and we don't owe anything to these players any more (not saga-time any more).

He's borderline list-clogger due to his overall ceiling and injury history.

 

[Foxx]

Obviously our coaching staff have a better player in mind to negate the oppositions best midfielders influence and get 20 efficient disposals at the same time.
Caldwell i guess.

 

[Happyskeret]

I reckon he would be fantastic at the cats alongside Holmes and Smith if he could get his body right. Whoever picks him up he won’t cost much so it would be worth the free hit for them.

Hopefully this player can play more than the 12 games a season Setterfield does.

Go well Setters. You made us look better when you were out there.
