Bo Nixon

Alot of pies fans are calling for his delisting and it wouldnt surprise me with their surplus of talls cloke x 3 etc. Would we be interested he was a decent junior and draft pick? Why not give him a chance if the price is right.

Yep, i'd give Bowman a try.

Perhaps we could grab him as a freebie? If Collingwood delist him, it's not like we'll have to give up anything anyway.

To tell you the truth I don't know a whole lot about him but his profile doesn't sound 2 impressive. Plus I don't think he'd be quite tall enough to be the key forward we need.

Bo Nixon
Guernsey Number: 15
Height 191 cm
Weight: 84 kg
Recruited From: Calder Cannons
Date of Birth: 25 July 1984
FANFILE
MAGPIE BIOGRAPHY
Despite coming to Collingwood as a mobile key forward, Bo has been groomed as a tall 'run-with' player after being played in a variety of roles with Williamstown. Produced a three-goal effort mid-season and was a member of the Seagulls’ flag side. His strength overhead complements his versatility and once his endurance, strength and decision-making improve, he could find himself given a role as a tagger and utility. A long term project player, the Magpies will not rush him into AFL football. The Magpies' first pick (No. 21 overall) at the 2002 draft, he learnt his football at Yarrawonga and Assumption College and played with distinction for NSW/ACT in the National AFL Under-18 Championships.

do we read "coming to Collingwood as a mobile key forward, Bo has been groomed as a tall 'run-with' player " as a player who cant cut it as a tall. Pick 21 in 02 is probably a Charlie Gardnier level player do we need another like this.Our list needs a bit diversity IMO try this guy for size

William Morrison
Height 192 cm
Guernsey Number: 10
Weight: 98 kg
Recruited From: North Hobart
Date of Birth: 6 January 1986
MAGPIE BIOGRAPHY
A physical key position player in the Jonathan Brown mould, the Tasmanian teenager was selected by the Magpies with their first pick, at No. 17 overall, in last year’s National AFL Draft. Although he missed last season after a shoulder reconstruction, he has been earmarked for an AFL career since kicking nine goals on debut for North Hobart seniors as a 14-year-old. Could eventually develop into a centre half-forward, centre half-back or full-forward. Recorded the biggest hand span at the 2003 National Draft Camp.

If they have to make way Cloke the 3rd then Id prefer to try this boy.We got beaten to him by the Pies last year so I know we were interested in him. Big lumpy sort that could be a big pack mark type.
