What an outstanding THIRD CAREER GAME
If it wasn't for Walsh we'd be lauding this guy, and probably demanding a Rising Star Nomination.
Is going to be quite a player, wearing the right number for his playing style too.

Setters was one of the best outcomes from last night. Great debut. Appears to get in and out with a minimum of fuss.
He brought a tear to my eye when he took a mark on the opposite wing. I thought it was Kouta.

Rapt that his first game for us was a solid four quarter effort. I think he only played 68% game time, so will hopefully continue to build his fitness base and touch over the next few weeks.
For a kid with 2 games under his belt to put up that performance, after 2 years out of the game, was enormous.
Adds immensely to our midfield depth and team balance.

According to the new updated player profiles he is now 192cm.
Just a little smaller than Pat, our other young champ midfielder, both immensely talented, excellent another great acquisition along with Newman, they were very good last night.
Once Setters fills out and matures say 50 games, look out.

Setters has already exceeded my wildest expectations (and I had high hopes already) and oh boy, once he fully gets confidence in his recuperating knee, look out.
GWS gave him to us at 'mate rates' and SOS returned the favour by forcing Essendon to throw in their 2019 first rounder for Shiel, it was great game of bluffing by Silvagni, and Dodoro blinked.
Now that is what I call a great trading relationship (us and Giants)

Definitely can see where the Bont comparisons come in, he looked good last night. Would love for a bit more run and carry but for his first game in a long time I thought he was impressive.
Good first game. He needs to clean up his hand-balling, but I'm sure he'll get better as the year goes on.

Handy 24 disposals then. Could have been up to 30 if he was a bit fitter

He isn’t as slow as you would expect, for a 192cm midfielder, he had some great moments last night, finished with 24 possessions from 68% TOG which is great, but watching him give chase to a running players and closing them down was also a great sign, wasn’t expecting him to be the agile. Setterfield could be just as good a get as Walsh, which is massive win for us
His hands are great don't worry about that.
There have been some comparisons to Kouta, but I think people will start noticing Cripps like handballs soon enough

So much to look forward to.
Cripps and Walsh.
Serious 3 players. Serious 3.
Our midfield will be the envy of the league.

Already is, they are just slowly realising it.
Dow is awesome as is SPS. Stocker will be a beauty. Classy. Plus Fisher & LOB. I still believe Kennedy is a vital player for us.
We need to add another strong body or two at end of year

He is deceptively fast. He reminds me a little bit of Rhys-Jones the way he glides over the turf

3rd game, coming off an ACL injury & he produces this. This game exceeded all of my expectations for him. How high is his ceiling as a player?
