Essendon coach Brad Scott says the fall on the SCG “cricket wicket” has cost Will Setterfield his place in the side for today’s clash with St Kilda.
“He fell on the cricket wicket at the SCG and had a bit of swelling. We thought it would dissipate. He was close, he probably could play but we have a really strong policy to play players who are 100 per cent. “If we are serious about , we have to either minimise big time, or reduce completely, or get rid of the interchange.”
“We know what’s coming, it’s going to be fierce, but it’s a challenge we’re up for,” Lyon said ahead of Saturday’s clash. That case, combined with the AFL’s sensitivity to the concussion issue, prompted a tightening of tribunal guidelines around high contact.“There are no Maynards here - knock someone out and, you know, whatever it was and everything’s hunky dory. It doesn’t look like that anymore, does it?”
