Who are the most-improved players in the AFL this season?

The team at AFL.com.au pick the bolters at each club.

ADELAIDE
Most improved: Brodie Smith 
It's very hard to look past the young, rebounding defender, who has taken his game to great heights in 2014. If Smith isn't the favourite for the club's best and fairest count he'd be right up there, leading the Crows for rebound 50s and second only to Melbourne's Lynden Dunn in the wider competition. The 22-year-old has increased his average number of disposals from 19 to 23 a game and has become one of his club's most important players.

Worthy mentions: It's no secret that Sam Jacobs struggled last year after a stellar 2012 season in which he was unlucky to miss out on All Australian selection. But he dropped his playing weight and has been back to his best this year, finding far more of the ball. Josh Jenkins has taken his game to another level too and already has more goals than he kicked in 17 games last year, including four hauls of four. - Harry Thring
