Regardless I think you’re overrating Kelly. I kinda think he has been quite underwhelming. 4 games under 20 touches and so many games he’s been a massive turn over merchant. Gov going at AA level form and Barrass after a rocky start has been huge.
I’ve recently been critical of Duggan but I’d say he’s had a bigger impact for us than Kelly.
Obviously there’s some outliers, and Edwards has one game so ditch him.
Point remains there are a fair few genuinely good key defenders rated above McKay.
Andrews, Collins, McGovern, Taylor, Buckley, barass, have all been very good.
Then there are those behind him like Moore and Andrews who have had exceptional games.
I just don’t rate McKay that highly.

He's the same height as Matthew Lloyd. Just because some mids are tall these days, doesn't mean he's a small bloke. He's a very imposing figure.

I like this but I'd add Alex Pearce, Max King and remove Geelong

In the modern day he’s considered undersized

Locks:

Everything else still subject to change but you’d be hard pressed not to select these guys at the end of the year

Just going by the metrics on AFL stats here's the top midfielders. I could narrow down further but this gives an idea on who's leading the most key metrics
Walsh Vs Serong
3 - 6 Key Stats
Waterman is ahead of Curnow TBH

I like the Clark inclusion.
Merrett has been everything as good as Butters this year.

I’ve not watched enough Essendon but would agree based on what I have
I wish I’d seen more of Merrett, so I could have said with more certainty that Butters is very narrowly ahead of Merrett on almost all metrics except tackles and TOG, and the only place where Zach is narrowly ahead of Zak is in the dictionary. (/jk)

What about serong who’s second in coaches votes and suspect he’d been leading the Brownlow
What’s he need to do to get on your lock list?
I know there's a fair bit of bias, but I'd argue that Merrett is a lock. He's having the best year I've seen from a Bomber since Jobe's redacted Brownlow year.
I think he's the Brownlow favourite, just because Gulden and Warner will steal votes from Heeney.
I also think Serong and Sam Taylor are locks.

Heeney is probably in the 20's at this stage.
Heeney Merrett Serong would be my trifecta atm.
I think if Heeney gets 2-3 bog more it is over though.

Could be but history says the umps seem to love the contested under their nose mid

I do love how Serong goes about it and he’s in my side at present and is likely top 5 for the brownlow at this point but he’s just not a lock as yet.
I wouldn’t be mad if he ends up winning it

Heeney is an in and under type when playing midfield. He may break the Brownlow record this year if he keeps going the way he is

They like them when there isn't a Dangerfield, Martin, Fyfe (who is way more than just "in and under") or Heeney type dominating.
