Nathan and Jobe is having a great season so its a hard decision but ill go with watson.

 

[Darealrath]

Watson, because he's gone from being the worst performed to being the best performed of the 3 this season. Very happy with the other two though.

i think so far Watson is most improved. Not really given a lot of game time yet still racks up the disposals. Becoming a quality player.

Lovett-Murray has provided lots of run off half-back and is creating lots of opportunities. Racking up the disposals and marks also

Monfries has been solid and is turning out to be an excellent midfielder/forward for us. Just needs to learn from his mistakes and he'll be a future star thats for sure...

 

[Longy413]

Watson.

I don't think Monfries has actually improved in a sense. He's just getting more game time and more confidence. It's a natural progression, rather than an out and out improvement from what he showed last year.

I also don't think NLM has improved his weaknesses to the level Watson has. He's still fumbling below his knees, although not as much. And he still needs to improve his disposal. But I have been pleased he is taking the game on more and more.

 

[marcuz]

Watson for me but i must admit over the last few weeks NLM has grown some balls and has stopped hearing footsteps which is a great sign for his development.

Yep, that's been the most impressive aspect of his game. Backing back into traffic more and more.

 

[Darealrath]

Yep, that's been the most impressive aspect of his game. Backing back into traffic more and more.

And importantly taking the mark more often than not.

 

[Philzsay]

Watson

He has gone from 'will he or won't he make it as a player and even if he would remain on the list question marks' to one of the best players in the team atm.

 

[Longy413]

And importantly taking the mark more often than not.

Yep. He's always had good hands.
He just lacked the ability to put himself in front of on-coming traffic. He's now doing that time and time again.

He just lacked the ability to put himself in front of on-coming traffic. He's now doing that time and time again.

He's also the only bloke(Lovett does occasionally) willing to tuck the footy under his arm and run. Too many guys on our team who have pace seem content to dispose of the ball as soon as they get it.

Teams zone back on essendon because they know we will kick to a contest. Running the lines can break a game up.

 

[Longy413]

If we get some game time into Winderlich, he'll do it as well.
At the moment he's playing like a man that is too scared to make a mistake.

It's a shame as he usually gets dropped at the first opportunity. He's impressed me quite a bit lately and I'm praying he gets more ground time.

Watson edges NLM for most improved. NLM has really played his guts out lately and both are stating cases for B&F at the moment. But Watson has gone from last chance season to definate pick every week with 25+ possessions.

 

[DarthAnnihl8or]

To be perfectly honest I think Watson is the most improved in the league. NLM has improved the last couple of weeks, but Watson has improved each game since round 1 and just keeps getting better. When he learns to kick properly he'll be a destroyer.

Can anyone think of a player in the league who has improved more than Watson? (Excluding first year players because you have nothing to base it on.)

 

[Longy413]

Dane Swan

 

[JBomber]

I'd lean towards Jobe only because NLM started showing glimpses last year. We all new he'd be a look for Half Back this year.

To that, Jobe has been the most surprising improvement of the year. Who would have picked his game time or numbers?

 

[Nuts4Bolts]

Watson for me. I thought he was in real danger of being de-listed if he had another year like last. Is really amazing what he has done.

 

[Warrack Eagles]

I reckon there all about the same all have steped up considerbly this year hope to see Paddy Ryder get more game time good player!!!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

It's just a shame some senior players have gone backwards which has somewhat cancelled out these marvellous improvements

[blumfieldisback]

watson for me is the most improved player in the essendon side, him and hille.
I actually think his kicking is ok but for some reason he seems to be lacking confidence, i mean last year he played half forwrad for bendigo in a semi and took something like 15 marks and kicked 4 goals. And that was when he was unfit. Ive had the utmost in confidence job can imrove further, we will see the best of him once he plays 100 and gets endurance built into him. This is why i have had him in my supercoach side since day 1.

 

[zafa23]

Its the year of the Jobe. Had been saying that since preseason.

Boy was I excited last quarter, dieing minutes, scores level, Jobe's got the ball, streaming towards goal, I even had my tiger's friend in a head lock while chanting "year of the jobe". So what does he do...? ARGH!!!

 

[Hirdy!!]

Watson for sure.
