Early life

Setterfield grew up in Albury before taking up a boarding scholarship at Caulfield Grammar School in Melbourne[9]

Playing career

At the conclusion of the 2018 AFL season, Setterfield requested a trade from GWS. Essendon and Carlton were considered to be front runners in obtaining his signature. Despite being an Essendon supporter as a child, Setterfield nominated the Carlton Football Club as his preferred home.[10] He was traded on 12 October.[11] Widely considered a bargain coup for Carlton, former player and assistant coach Matthew Lappin tweeted "Blues fans, get excited. I coached against Setterfield in his first NEAFL game and he is a serious player, on the way to the 'Baggers".[12] Setterfield made his Carlton debut in the Round 1 match against Richmond at the MCG. He impressed, gathering an impressive 24 disposals in what was his first AFL game after his ACL injury in 2018.

After playing only 13 games in Carlton's promising 2022 season, Setterfield was traded to Essendon in that year's trade period.[13]

Personal life

Setterfield is cousins with Greater Western Sydney AFLW player Isabel Huntington.[14]
