AFL Media has compiled a club-by-club list of the most improved players so far in Season 2015.

Adelaide’s most improved – Rory Laird

There's nothing flashy about the way Laird plays his footy – he just gets the job done.

His greatest improvement this year, though, has been to the offensive side of his game. He's averaged 22 possessions so far in 2015, up from 16 a game last year and he's led the Crows for rebound 50s. Laird has also led the way in terms of skill execution. The club's skills have been questioned this year but Laird has managed more effective disposals (183) than any of his teammates (Patrick Dangerfield is second with 165).

Laird's best game in 2015: R10 v Carlton. Laird was clearly the best attacking defender on the ground and his four inside 50s and seven rebound 50s (11 combined) was the second most of the round, bettered only by Sydney Swans captain Jarrad McVeigh (12 combined). He finished with 26 possessions, of which 10 were gathered from interceptions.

Others who’ve stepped up: Jake Kelly, Cam Ellis-Yolmen.
