Freestone is, and has been, our best defender over the course of the season, so I would nominate him for both awards (in the absence of an alternative year to year most improved. I do agree that Marschall has improved over the season but maybe not enough as there are still some shaky moments when he leaves the box).

I'm surprised by the number of votes for Dan Phillips as most improved. I don't think people fully appreciated his performances last season and have taken time to see his value

I don't think any other individuals have stood out for an extended period. Matt Phillips' arrival has improved us and changed the way we play. Jordan Roberts has looked a different (better) player in this LWB role. Phoenix has been exciting in fits and starts. Harvey had a bit of a run of scoring goals at the start of the season but hasn't performed at a particularly high level for the most part. Couple of others reliable more than anything (Luther for instance)
