    Most improved so far

    For me would be a toss up between Bevan and O'Keefe ............Bevan has come from the clouds and O'Keefe has really shown this season what a class player he is I honestly think he could be anything. James has also shown why he was kept on to.

      Agree.

      Bevan has been fantastic doing more IMO than his older peers if you want to name names - Fosdike and Bolton.

      O'Keefe has really impressed me he has in the past shown glimpses but now I really think he's taken the next step and put his past behind him.

      James, the one good thing about his injuries keeping him out so long is that he's ready to play senior football in his mind and body.

      Most improved though is a tough one they all play different parts in the machine, but I would have to say Bevan because he has appreared out of nowhere where as O'Keefe has been playing football for a while as has James.

        Not sure how you can say Bevan when he is playing his first year of senior footy, hence there is nothing to compare to so how do we know he has been most improved. Or you saying he is most improved through the course of the season so far? Again, hard to tell.

        The main improvers I think have been:

        - Hall
        - Kirk
        - Crouch
        - O'Keefe

          Barry's improvements have been pleasingly consistent. I am really proud to say he is a Swan. He is a bit like Warren Tredrea (now a Champ in my books) in that he works and works and getting better and better. Twinkle Toes Hall must be a fair way ahead in the B & F in 2004!

          ROK is showing some great signs this year. I almost feel like he always had this in him though. He just needed a chance to show himself and I love what I see. He has a great example in Baz to show him the way. ROK is every bit a forward, great disposal, tireless in attack and defence.

          I started to fall in love with Crouchy late last year when I realised that he didn't get beaten all year, takes his footy seriously and must have the admiration of the coaching staff. He was quoted this year as saying that he wants to attack more, use his pace and see how far he can take this thing. Well push me over with a feather, Crouchy is getting accolades from everywhere. This season he has been running where Tadhg, Willo and Fossy used to last year. Still beating his man, but now he is starting to woo the crowds too!

          Vote 1 Baz (by a whisker)
          Vote 2 Crouchy
          Vote 3 ROK

            After todays effort ROK has to be the big improver. Faded out in the 2nd half but was still in there trying.

              O'Keefe and Hall have both taken a step up this year.

              Unfortunately our midlfielders and defenders have gone backwards.

                O'keefe for me.

                His improvement has been greater than Hall's or Crouch's so far even though they are better players if you know what I mean.

                  O'Keefe. He did bloody well in the first half to find the ball at HF. But, unfortunately, I think his disposals into the forward 45 were in part responsible for our poor score after the 2nd quarter. I reckon he got disheartened by this and subsequently faded.

                  Having said that, though, I do believe he has improved enormously since he has been given a big chance this year.

                    Although Kirk had a great year last year I believe he has come a step further this year, not only as a stopper but he is now a great user of the footy. Kirk has the ability to get clean footy out of the centre starts, really has taken another step forward.

                      if it comes down to a function of the criticism that players recieve on this board there can be only one...
