Overall

Setterfield is a GWS academy player and is therefore likely to be a Giants' player and will be taken early in the draft.

His big strength is his versatility. He is a silky midfielder, who has great vision and can dispose of the ball very well.

His size means he can go in the contest and win his own footy, while his neat ball use means he can also play an outside mid with just as damaging effect.

Settlefield can also be thrown forward and take a handy mark.

His knock at the moment is his pace and his injuries. Setterfield has missed large chuncks of footy over the past two years, but when he is on the park, he is a joy to watch.
