Who gets your selection as the Austworld Player of the Round following Saturday night’s gripping Round 1 win over Adelaide?
Sam Flanders and Noah Anderson got their hands on plenty of the ball once again, leading all comers with 35 disposals apiece with the latter also kicking a fine goal in the first term.
Touk Miller and Matt Rowell were strong at the contest finishing with game-high tallies in both clearances and contested possessions, while Brayden Fiorini won his fair share of the ball as well.
An unfortunate falcon in the third quarter was the lowlight in an otherwise immense performance from co-captain Jarrod Witts who let his actions do the talking both in the air and around the ground.
Sam Collins, Charlie Ballard and Bodhi Uwland stood tall and were seldom beaten inside defensive 50 while only Ballard (13) recorded more intercept possessions than Wil Powell (10).
Tom Berry shot out of the cannon with 10 possessions and a superb goal in the first quarter, eventually finishing with a career-high 17 disposals.
Whilst regularly seen further up the ground, Ben Ainsworth made the most of his chances inside 50, finishing as one of two multiple goal kickers for the SUNS.
