Verdict:

Corey Enright has been a consistent scorer for a number of years, whilst Kelly has really broken through the ranks as an elite scorer in the past 18 months.  Kelly in my opinion has more of an upside, but Enright gets more consistent tons.

Either Way i think you would go fine, but I would have to go Kelly.
Who would you select?

[Master Q]

Depends, is Kelly MPP?

[CrowsFan]

Kelly was MPP last year, and did play a lot of time in defense and midfield so should be MPP again.
I had Kelly last year and was really impressed with him, since Enright will get the forward tag instead of Kelly he can get a bit more of the ball.
However just because he is cheaper I would pick Enright. Better than Kelly all year till his form slump at the end

[Junktimer]

read again i added more stuff

[Master Q]

Enright. Just. Don't mind either to be honest, Kelly could slip into my Midfield If I want to work the MPP a little bit more.

[Kazahkstan]

As highly as I rate Kelly, if I had to choose one it would be Enright.

[DazBurg]

enright for me i've always picked him and has never let me down

[benjy251090]

Kelly for me, reckon he will slip into some more mid time and less likely to get tagged, MPP helps

[Maca24]

easily kelly for me. pick enright every year so i want a change.  ;D

[Justin Bieber]

There is a way to solve this problem. Enright in the backline. Kelly in the midfield :P.

Seriously, I can't decide at this stage. Enright is solid but Kelly seems to be on the up. Kelly is in my team at the moment but can easily change.

i agree HP i got the loyalty to enright
but would be happy with either
it's a really tough call

[BoredSaint]

Kelly for me based on his form last season and Enrights poor form towards the end of the season

Went Kelly last year, and he became my point of difference on occasions. He'll have to step up without GAJ there now, but I'd stick with him over Enright.

[Cruiseon]

I was the same Fletch, had Kelly from round 1 & he developed nicely. Brought in Enright later and had to work through his ups & downs.
