Will Setterfield is the current favourite to win the 2019 AFL Rising Star Award, he was traded to Carlton during the recent Trade Period after playing 2 games for the Giants. Setterfield suffered an ACL injury during a pre-season game early in 2018, he did not play a game last season.
Setterfield is set to be a genuine Midfield option at the Blues, he shared his thoughts earlier this week via @MacquarieSport.
“I’m going to come in & help the midfield with guys like Cripps & Murphy on the inside.. That’ll be my main role to start with.. I should be all good for Round 1” Will Setterfield.
