It's a no from me. That was five minutes of the most ridiculous defence ever put to music.
Let’s be fair dinkum Kelly has serious defensive issues backpedaling in defence too often and Suli’s reads are awefull. Our back line defence has been earful at times.!Best centers in the game have always been classy and smart. Lyon, O'Conner best examples. Tom Wright and a focused more mature Dylan Walker would be great but Wright has defensive issues and Dylan needs to get the trash talk crap out.
Walker and Kelly are our centres for the next 5 years. We don't need any other centres.
Stats aren't represented as truth when defining a footballer. He is in a team coming first so doesn't get as much opportunity with the ball coz the chooks are widely talented squad. Kelly prob has more touches in his game due to one out running from our own end in which manly seems to do every game. Hence the more metres. Manu has more tackle busts and better defense thus far. Assists and breaks are practically even. Manu has more quality physical attributes then Kelly also.. speed, size and height. Manu in my mind is better. Also cronk has a short and Sharp game/ mentality. Manu opportunities more often then not would come off keary and we both know.cronk is the orchestrator. Hence why latrells side is favoured. Common sense in that really. Kelly is our preferred centre and side in attackBrian Kelly vs Joe Manu
23 games vs 24 in 2018

Manus team sits 1st, best team in the comp and he has played 1 more game so far yet Kelly sits 15th and has played 1 less game and beats him in most statistics. I rest my case Kelly is in a basket case and is better then Manu.
I agree that the defence was not up to standard but you still need to have superior pace to avoid defendersAgree, I'm 65 and I would still carve that up ......
PSS ... the alternate hypothetical ... is how would Suli look playing against that level of opposition?
I can see your point that Manu is stronger and faster .Stats aren't represented as truth when defining a footballer. He is in a team coming first so doesn't get as much opportunity with the ball coz the chooks are widely talented squad. Kelly prob has more touches in his game due to one out running from our own end in which manly seems to do every game. Hence the more metres. Manu has more tackle busts and better defense thus far. Assists and breaks are practically even. Manu has more quality physical attributes then Kelly also.. speed, size and height. Manu in my mind is better.
I added to my analysis above which I think is a defining factor in stats alsoI agree that the defence was not up to standard but you still need to have superior pace to avoid defenders
The Kid has speed and SPEED KILLS any DEFENSIVE LINE

You are on target here feathered friend. Totally agreeI added to my analysis above which I think is a defining factor in stats also

Ride of the Valkyries, we need those chicks......mate, I feel like invading Poland after the first couple of minutes.....It's a no from me. That was five minutes of the most ridiculous defence ever put to music.
I hear you mate . That is also what I have been seeing all year faster backlines carving us upLet’s be fair dinkum Kelly has serious defensive issues backpedaling in defence too often and Suli’s reads are awefull. Our back line defence has been earful at times.!
Last time I checked the life of Brian was a comedy"The name Seb is a boy's name of Egyptian origin meaning "God of the earth".....he's got a bit to live up to then, I still reckon Brian's the real Messiah though......Seb Wileman Centaur?
A comedy of errors?Last time I checked the life of Brian was a comedy
And that's why you can't identity a good player. You can't see smarts, skill or class. Case closed.Mate we all evaluate players in our own way .
The way I evaluate centre is with the 3 key attributes that make superior players and that is superior speed agility and strength
This is how I evaluate Tren Barretts Centres
Suli
Plus strength
Minus Superior Speed
Minus Superior agility
Kelly
Plus Agilty
Minus Superior Speed
Minus Superior Strength
My conclusion
one third of Superior attributes do not make a dominant player
