The most improved player of each club, analysis

Eels – Dylan Brown

Dylan Brown has been a mainstay for the Eels for a number of seasons now, but in 2024 he has taken his game to a whole new level.

With Mitchell Moses missing most of the year due to injury, Brown was given the playmaking job and excelled.

As part of an underperforming team, he was one of the best every week, spurring his troops on and courageously taking on bigger opponents time after time.

Brown’s sixth season as an Eel was without doubt his best and he finished the year with five tries and 21 disposals, having played in all 24 games.

If the Eels can get more value out of Moses in 2025 and Brown continues his stellar form, things will be looking up for the team at the start of the Jason Ryles era.
