Most Improved Player from overall

[Trueblueroo]

From an outsider's persepective would be interesting to know where you guys think you have improved and who.....

Other than the obvious addition of Judd, which previously listed players from 07 have stood up?

Do one for an overall most improved, however one for backs, mids, fwds

Overall Gibbs for me

Back: Grigg
Mids: Simpson
Fwds: Fisher

Just interested see peoples thoughts behind the rebuild

 

[Jeremias]

Fisher certainly hasn't improved. In fact, in comparison to last year, he has been very ordinary.

Bower has been our biggest improver no doubt, and it is a shame that he suffered a serious injury. Setanta has improved and is now a very useful player. Grigg and Jamo have also stepped up and become important components of our team.

Gibbs and Murphy have been our biggest improvers in the middle. Both look to be loving their footy and there is no doubt that the arrival of Juddy has helped them no end - in particular Murph.

Eddie has also improved a hell of a lot. He still needs to work on his consistency but when all others have failed to fire up forward, he has often given us a target leading up from half forward. Not ideal to have the smallest player on the team fill this role, but he has been doing it very well.

Paul Bower has been the most improved player at Carlton this year.

 

[ECHUCABOY]

Would agree with that sorta....jamo would be a close second tho!

Fisher has had a pretty bad year as has Simmo, compared to last year, so don't know what games the thread poster has been watching...

Cameron Cloke has been a lot better this year when fit as well

 

[Trueblueroo]

With regards to Fish its just a few things he has done this year, not so much reflective in perhaps stats or goals, but presentation to the football and his leading up the ground to create more space for Fev to led into.

Everyone notices different things thats all, but interesting none the less..

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Bower, Gibbs, Jamison, Murphy, Russell, Bentick, Grigg, Wiggins, Betts, O'hAilpin, Bannister ... all have improved this year IMO.

Eddie B he is a gun now and similar to Matthew Stokes from Geelong but with the magic of Stevie J.

Murphy, Bower are clear favourites for the title of Most Improved.

i would also rate Grigg up there as most improved. He seems to be overlooked

 

[gbatman]

The whole team...

In particular Murphy, Waite, Gibbs, Grigg, Jamison and O'hAlpin.

 

[K.Simpson]

Paul Bower has been the most improved player at Carlton this year.

hit the nail on the head

hit the nail on the head

I'll give that another hit too. But Grigg is coming up not far behind..

 

[WeninRome]

Eddie Betts, Griggy and Bowser. Put a blanket across the three.

 

[Blu3_Boy]

In my honest opinion it has to be Jamison, to come off the rookie list and now take the big full forward every week is absolutely sensational for the Carlton Blues, and is a credit to him. But I can't ignore big Paul Bower as well, its ashame he got injured, as he was tearing it up and was a close contender for Best and Fairest

What he said.

To the guy that said Simpson is having a pretty bad year - he had a poor start, but he's been in very good form for while now.

Agreed - Simpson has been solid in recent weeks after a slow start. Fisher has struggled but once he finds form he tends to keep it going.

Jamo has been the most improved. His vertical leap amazes me. His athleticism reminds me of a young SOS.

Bower has been great. Bentick is so damned hard at the ball he should never be left out of the side again.

As for Russell, all is forgiven. I am sorry I ever doubted you. You are the link player we always needed. Your work rate is a large reason for our improvement.

 

[pumped]

For me Bentick is our most improved followed by Bower and then Murphy who was already good but getting much better.Jamison for mine was really good from day one and has continued with this form.
