There are training reports on BF that suggest that Setterfield will not be ready for Rd 1 but when he is fully fit should make a good impression. From the training reports on Freo I personally think if Bennell is fit and does not do something stupid off field he will almost be a cert to start rd 1. There will play him as long as his legs last but that could include some rested games later on.

For me depends on the depth of the mid rookies revealed in JLT. But if he is fit then it would be very hard not to pick him. You accept on face value the possible injury issues but $167 for guy who could easily ave 95 plus is hard to go past. Yes the guy is a drop kick (pardon the pun) but you cannot question his football ability. Ride him for 5 -6 games and then if he gets a calf after that cash him in and take the money and run.

……...Tom Mitchell has suffered a likely season-ending leg injury, the question of where Wingard will be lining up is one that even the 25-year-old is pondering.
“It’s a question I’ve thought about a lot in the off-season,” Wingard said.
“Whatever the team needs, I am happy to do...…… Alastair Clarkson...…….is keeping his Wingard card close to his chest......….“I’ve obviously experienced both positions, but it will be up to Clarko and the coaching panel as to what they would like to do...…...”

IT'S NO certainty star Richmond recruit Tom Lynch debuts for his new club in round one as he recovers from a knee injury...…….Riewoldt said "There'll be no rush with him. He's obviously a big investment for us and we're rapt to get him along, so we certainly won't be rolling him out in round one if he's not right. He'll come in at the right time."...…….Lynch went under the knife again in November. ……….It was a very light session for him, with the 2016 All Australian restricted to jogging and walking laps...…….Riewoldt has kept a "keen eye" on Lynch and is excited about playing alongside him, but isn't sure yet how the set-up will look. "There's a little bit of the unknown. He's such a great player and we've got a really good forward line, built on some really strong traits that we know he's going to add to......…."
