Opening Round kicks off on Thursday and the pre-season has provided plenty of answers, but certain questions can't be answered until the real stuff starts.

Zero Hanger has outlined a topic likely to garner plenty of discussion at each club in the first month of the season.

How does Hayden Young perform?

Hayden Young could be the player that elevates the Dockers to the heights many felt they were capable of reaching - but fell short of - last year. His excitement, ability to use space and hit up forwards complements the contested ball-winning capabilities of Caleb Serong and Andy Brayshaw. Young visited Qatar rehabilitation centre Aspetar in the off-season and will allow him to play a full season this year, having long threatened to be a genuine star of the competition. Not only might he be the cream of the crop in a rich midfield group, but his ability to contribute as a half forward or running defender will also add plenty to a flexible Fremantle lineup.
