Ok bored at work so here are my thoughts on a couple of Dogs players who i saw for the first time friday night,
Cameron Milne
Ok didn't get heaps of the ball and when he did his disposal was a bit wasteful BUT the upside is the bloke can run, he is very much an athlete, there were many times where he was burning through the center of the ground free but wasn't used. Wasn't as big as i thought he would be but has a fairly decent jump on him and backed into packs a couple of times. I personally see a fair bit of potential in him, what i really like was his decision making, despite his skill errors he was always trying to do the right thing with the ball. Think he could be very useful as a back-up to Buckets, especially after buckets has jumped into them all day and worn them down, Milne will make them work harder again by running them into the ground, may have to develope another specialty such as pinch hitting up forward if he wants to cement a spot in the side.
Josh Wittwer
Was very exciting in his first league hit out, is lightning quick and has and bring big engine to match. Hits the pack at a hundred miles an hour, on a couple of occasions this caused him to over run the ball, but when he does get it he uses it very well. Won a few center clearances late in the game which i know impressed Lairdy immensly. Will probably need a year in the reserves to get use to the bigger bodies but has that advantage of being able to play in the midfield as well as in the forward line. One to watch over the next 2-3 years is only 19 years old.
Jay Nash
class, class and class, played on a half back flank had six possesion inside the first 10 ten minutes, his disposal wasn't the greatest but he is renowned for being highly skilled. Took the kick outs they weren't brilliant but there wasn't alot getting offered. Will be extremly handy if he qualifys for finals.
