I would love to see that in him, wish he could bring some of that to his game now. Do you think it's a confidence thing? That's how he looks to me, not confident maybe scared of making a mistake? I don't think he lacks courage.
Walsh contests like its a natural part of his makeup and he just hates losing a contest, Setterfield doesnt have that in his skillset IMO. Doesnt mean he cant be used in another position which is less demanding but you need that manic contested type in the middle who just will themselves to win the ball at all costs...

He's played a total of 39 games, coming into his 5th season (0 games in 2018). If you look at length of time on a list, it seems like he's been around for a while, I guess he has. But he's played bugger all senior footy, in a very stop start, interrupted manner - this point would be the first thing that comes to my mind as to why he hasn't really lived up to potential. My 2 cents.

Teague says Cripps back is fine... see AFL.Com.
Im confused....

Club would naturally deny it. Can't admit to playing a player with a back fracture.

Nathan Jones is out with a Hammy

Nathan Jones has played some good games against us but I'd say he's the least of our worries. Might be the time this week to keep Levi in the side and play him back....he did it a couple of seasons ago I think when Jones was injured and did okay. Either that or Parks will have to play on probably McDonald which will be a huge ask for a guy playing in about his 5th game of footy.

Agree. He's been dropped once or twice already this season.

Fair point Surfie although I think they will persist with Parks down back but he is going to be giving away size and experience if its him vs either of McDonald, Brown or Weidemann. Fritsch and Pickett wont be much fun either for ever plays on them...best way is to keep the ball down our end more. I'd be keeping Levi in the team as insurance to play down back or cover if TDK gets injured.
Harry on May will be an interesting dual.....Harry has the cm but May has the sharper elbows..

Dees midfield is possibly more dominant than the dogs midfield. Considering they embarrassed us last week, every solid, hard working player we can get out of the dees midfield can only help us. Yes, he's not as good as he once was, but he'd be better than whatever replacement they can muster.

May slipped a nice elbow on Buddy recently, it glanced off his shoulder and into his head but May managed to make it look innocent enough but when its a bloke like May its never an accident. Worst May carnage I saw was when he ran through Stefan Martin who is a decent lump of a bloke but caught him flush and left him knocked out cold like he got hit by a truck. See below some of Mays finest work...

Fritsch is a really dangerous player and not sure we have an ideal match up for him.....probably Plowman? Saad isn't a lockdown defender and neither is Docherty really. As for Pickett.....again, hard to find a match up for him.....probably Stocker.

Fritsch is a strong mark for his size and Plowman would probably have to take him.....I'd put Saad on Pickett

SPS for that job and maybe Stocker at times...
