We are now 16 Round into a 2021 season that has produced plenty of surprises and upsets.
Whilst several teams have shot their way up the ladder, we want to look at the players who have been driving this success.
Now that we have a big enough body of work, it's time to laud the performances of the players who have been each club's biggest improvers.
As always, let us know who we have overrated and who we have snubbed.
GWS
Isaac Cumming
GWS have surprised a few this year by staying in the race for the top eight.
The younger brigade is starting to drive the club forward, with Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper and Lachlan Ash putting together impressive seasons.

Veteran Callan Ward is playing consistent footy for the first time in three years, and has shown how much his presence was missed.
But it's 22-year-old defender Isaac Cumming who has really broken out to be one of the 2021's best defenders.
After struggling to break into the Giants' best-22 across first three seasons with the league's youngest club, Cumming is now one of the first names on the whiteboard on selection night.
Having doubled his average disposals this season as well as putting together career-highs in almost every stat, Cumming has easily been one of the league's most improved names.
