WHO IS THE BIGGEST IMPROVER FOR YOUR SIDE THIS YEAR?
RICHMOND
When Damien Hardwick said Daniel Jackson could be leading the club's best-and-fairest after the first month of football, few believed him.
But the stats bear out his influence, with Jackson in the top 50 for SuperCoach improvers alongside Dusty Martin and Reece Conca, up 22 points.
Brandon Ellis has peeled off a couple of monsters before recent injury.
At times in the last year you wondered if Martin was too much of a loose cannon, if Conca had any tricks, if Ellis was just a solid half-back.
Patience was then in short supply, but a year on Martin has started finishing off games and seems reformed, while Ellis and Conca are certain 200-gamers.
Shane Edwards took the step up last year, but his sure hands in the centre bounces have won games for the Tiges this year and is averaging 20 touches.
