"I think Setanta is a confident young man. He realises the situation he's in. It's all about a process, we needed to know where he was and we want to play Josh Kennedy as soon as he's match-hardened," Pagan said.

"We thought it was an ideal opportunity to see where Setanta's at. It wasn't for lack of trying and I think for Jimmy Stynes it took five years for him to really grasp Australian football and Setanta has only just started his third year."

It's all about a process

That's it - we're stuffed now :lol:

key position players more often than not take longer to develop.
I think his progress has been good. On Friday nite I think our
midfield let him down, Could you imagine how well he would
have gone If the Bulldogs midfield was passing the ball to
him lace out on the chest as they do 95% of the time. Our skill level
by foot is crap. If we had played the bulldogs last Friday nite we would
have got belted by at least 10-15 goals

I don't buy this. This is more BS from Pagan. How many years did it take Tagh Conelly?

Agreed, Prez. While I was wrapt that he was selected to play, it was pretty obvious that he wasn't ready for it and there to much expected of him from both fans and Carlton officials. Having Setanta has our main target was a big ask and it really does show how much we miss Fevola when he's not playing for us. Something, for the people who wanted Fevola gone, to remember. I, like you Prez, have no doubt he will be an excellent player for us in years to come, however, he needs to be brought in when he is used as the 3rd or 4th target up forward. There would be less pressure on him to perform and he would have an easier task playing on the 3rd or 4th defender. I'm keeping the faith. Much like I did with Simmo after a few people wrote him off.

From what i seen he is a long, long, long way off and like many of you i do hope to continues with his development but you got to remember VFL footy much different to AFL footy so don't count all your chickens at once.

I still think he did ok ... not great, but at least he did the hard things. A couple of his tackles resulted in turn-overs and one directly led to a goal. Anyone who has seen him play regularly for the Bullants (and against Geelong in the NAB Cup earlier in the year - a performance which seems to have been forgotten) would say he has enough potential for us to persevere with. Kicking 4 or 5 every week in the VFL (considering the stage of his development) is normally a pretty good indication of a bright future.

A good forward also makes the job easier for the midfield by knowing when to run, and where to run.. Our midfield is reasonably skilled
