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.

Touk Miller
It has been slim pickings for the Suns this year after putting together another disappointing season.
Amongst the younger crop, Ben King has started having a big influence on games. King now sits 4th in the Coleman race, with 38 goals and is evolving into one of the AFL's best forwards.

The biggest props at the Suns undoubtedly have to go to Touk Millerย - whose improvement has been incredible all year.
Miller's work ethic and leadership has been questioned in recent years, but he has answered all critics with a monster line of work.
Not only is Miller in the leagues top-10 for disposals, he also ranks 3rd for tackles with 6.6 a game. As he is also enjoying the best inside-50 and clearance numbers of his career, Miller is surely one of the AFL's most under-appreciated stars.
