    Can't agree with that. Reid has improved his handballing to players running past, he brings the ball to ground for the midfield to score. It will be interesting to see how he goes when the number 1 defender goes to Tippett.

        Problem is Reid doesnt get his hands on the footy often enough. Might end up being a defender like his brother.

          I think Rampe is developing nicely. If he continues to improve in the same vein throughout the year, we could be in for some good times.

                From completely awful to mediocre? I don't like to be a downer on players, but he is just too inconsistent at this stage for my liking. For everything good he does, he does something poor to offset it, and his tackling is well pretty orgindary to say the least.

                As for Parker, I think he's not improved - just getting back to the level we saw glimpses of when he first burst onto the scene. He is a gun, no doubt about it. Can't wait to see a firing Tom Mitchell in the guts as well - our midfield will be well served when the older generation retires

                  These are the top players who have improved in the most categories. (in order)
                  Categories are the same as in the STATS listed on RWO.

                  Daniel Hannebery (by mile)
                  Andrejs Everitt
                  Sam Reid

                  Nick Malceski


                  At the other end of the spectrum. The players who have dropped off in the most categories. (in order as well)
                  Craig Bird (Excused, due to limited game time)
                  Lewis Jetta
                  Lewis Roberts-Thomson (misssed half a game)
                  Martin Mattner

                  Rhyce Shaw (injured)
                  Tony Armstrong


                  Makes interesting reading.

                  These guys are getting significantly more game time. (again in order)

                    Needs to spend 12 months in the gym and on the tackle bags.

                      Absolutely. He clearly seems a confidence player, but its so frustrating at the moment to see him do everything right to get in position to put pressure on and then a limp tackle ruins the effort. The problem for us is that it is costing us goals and hurting us on the scoreboard. Its not like he is playing in the forward pocket where putting the pressure on is as important as actually making an effective tackle. He is playing as a defender/in the midfield, where you need to make the tackles stick.

                            Based purely on their avgs this season against last. so if he ever plays again this year, he'll remain in the top list.

                              Without looking at his stats, I'd have to name Malceski as most improved. Didn't he get dropped for a few games last year? He's just been fantastic this season.

                                He was pretty fantastic last season after he came back from being dropped though - his form just has continued through. Unless you talk to the fool sat behind me at the game on the weekend, who spent the whole time telling all and sundry just how rubbish Malceski is
