Question: How is 'most improved' going to be judged? That's very subjective.

 

[grimlock]

Originally from the Riverina in New South Wales, Dennis Carroll played 219 games for the Swans between 1981 and 1993. The Club’s award for the Most Improved Player, which is presented each year at the Club Champion dinner, is named in his honour.

Objective enough for you?

I called it too!

Just said we wouldn't beat Collingwood too though... thinking I could be wrong.

My Rising Stars prediction is probably a little off though... thought it'd be going with the anti-Swans bias that seems to have been shown in years prior.

 

[SM]

Time to mark this!

 

[grimlock]

Time to mark this!

Hold on, we have to wait until the Brownlow and B&F counts!
