These threads were meant to be weekly but I am lazy.
As a bit of a preface, I am looking for:
- older players. I don't really see 20, 21 year olds as improvers more so natural maturing
- really rate going from very good to great/elie i.e rate going from a 8/10 to a 9 more than going from a 4 to a 7.
Crows: Dangerfield- Lots of options but really rate the jump from HF/mid stints to being on the cusp of elite midfielder. Walker loses points because I think the improvement has largely come from just starting to try!
Lions: Merrett- Hard one with Lions. Merrett has added a string to his bow showing value forward.
Blues: Carrazzo- Best tagger in the league with his ability to play in the middle, back and forward.
Pies:Sidebottom- Just gets the nod over Beams.
Dons: Watson- Might be an odd one considering he has been a gun for ages but as I said at the top, massive points for jump to elite level.
Freo: De Boer- I don't really watch them but he seems to have improved!
Cats: Motlop- I know he goes against my age rule but he has made a big jump.
Suns: Bennell- Had to break the rule for the Suns.
GWS: Giles- I know he didn't play AFL last year, more an improvement on expecations perhaps?
Hawks: Hale- Valuable member for a contender.
Kangas: R.Tarrant- More so the last couple of weeks but they have been impressive.
Dees: Watts- Coming good.
Port: Brad Ebert- Move home has kick started his career.
Tigers: Maric- Massive find for the Tigers.
Saints: Steven- Very poor timing but just gets in front of Armitage.
Swans: Jetta- Has really exploded this year, Richards close.
WCE: Hill- Hmmm
Dogs: Minson- Really taken his chance as #1 ruck.
