Good news in general. Great to see Ridley and Menzie’s timelines have shifted in more than expected.

Setterfield just doesn’t have the body for the caper I don’t think. This is basically the story of his career. His knee must be pretty cooked. Which is rough for him but from a team perspective I don’t think it hurts us too much. It’s a pity for the VFL team though.

Are they gonna actually tell us what is wrong with Setterfield or just keep bullshiting about his knee?

This is my biggest issue with the club at the moment.

In other news, I recon they will give Caldwell the week off and bring in Tsatas and move Hobbs into Caldwells role.

So basically everyone that whinged about Ridley and Reid were overreacting?

I don’t think this is the one to rest Caldwell. If he is fit, we need him for this one.

In other news, ZACH REID. Test baby.

This was after the Port game where Setterfield got injured. Mind you, he was a test for that game after he experienced knee soreness during the week. So it’s clearly an ongoing concern for him and one that flares up and is hard to get on top of.

Such a shame about Setterfield because when he’s played, he’s been excellent for us.

Same thing happened to Setterfield last year - wasn’t it something minor with his foot - ok some one trod on it but then missed how many weeks. He must of had a setback with it. Very strange - whilst I am not sure he is best 23 it would be great having him play and put more pressure for spots and helping the VFL team.

Get Reid straight into the team I say.

Reid’s test is to see if his hamstring is still attached to his body.

Gee I’d love out there this week but I’ll be crapping myself if he does get up, would be a major blow if it goes wrong.

Baldwin slowly edging closer and closer… Can’t wait to have him back too.

The possibility of us having 4 players on the injury list is too good to be true. You cant fool us Essendon

Without wanting to sound arrogant and assume victory against Norf, but now that Ridley is only at 1-2 weeks, I’d love it if he could get up for the North Melbourne match as almost a bit of match conditioning so that he’s humming for the bigger occasion game the following week against the Tigers (Dreamtime).

Probably the best injury update in some time.

Besides Setterfield, there’s progress with everyone and imminent returns.

Barring any setbacks this week (yeah… like that’s going to happen!), we should have very close to a ‘best side’ playing in coming weeks against the likes of NM & Richmond.

Two clubs that deserve nothing but our very best.
