How good is having footy back? The opening round has come and gone and we've identified the standout performers from the weekend in our Zero Hanger Team of the Week.
Check out our Team of the Week below!
Interchange
Errol Gulden (Sydney)
Three snags on debut to go with a cheeky 19 disposals, Gulden showed class and he used the ball well when he got it. Seven inside 50's and nine score involvements on debut isn't bad either. He showed poise and composure beyond his years as well. Lots to like.
Callum Mills (Sydney)
A terrific display from a man who has been desperate for more midfield time. Mills got his opportunity and took it with both hands. He went at 86% for his 29 disposals and hit the scoreboard with two majors.
Andrew McGrath (Essendon)
McGrath was the standout player on the ground Saturday night. A performance made all the more impressive considering he had some concussion issues leading into round one. 33 disposals and eight score involvements showed his class and importance to this Essendon team.
Adam Saad (Carlton)
Saad showed his willingness to defend when needed but also showed his want to attack and take the game on. He had 25 disposals and used the ball as well as ever but also defended incredibly well. Looks a good recruit.
