Former Sydney premiership player Jude Bolton has revealed his top five most improved players in the AFL this season, in a column for ESPN.com.au.
With the season now over a third of the way through, teams have established themselves and contenders while others have shown themselves to be pretenders, and the same goes for some of the stars of the game.
Fremantle's Nat Fyfe, Melbourne's Max Gawn and Western Bulldogs' Jackson Macrae have all starred throughout the season, as those three players are looking at certain All-Australian berths after eight rounds.
Some stars like Patrick Dangerfield, Tom Mitchell, Dustin Martin and Zach Merrett have all failed to fire at stages throughout the season, but many are expecting them to all find their best soon enough.
However, Bolton has come up with a list of his top five most improved players, and the full article can be seen here.

"His willingness to work both ways and apply pressure on an opposition prime midfielder (he averages seven tackles per game) has been evident. When the likes of Josh Kelly, Brett Deledio and Toby Greene return to the GWS line up, it will only further aid the development of this young star," Bolton wrote.
