Do any Willi watchers rate Bo Nixon a chance to play soon?

[Nat]

Haven't seen much of Willi myself so I would like an opinion from those who watch the Gulls. Have heard he is quite classy which could be just what the doctor ordered.

Saw the Willi/Box hill game & he was ' unobtrusive ' , I thought Shackelton did himself no harm with his game , I know I'll be watching him in future and keeping an eye on his progress.

Having seen him a few times I cannot see him playing seniors this year. Shows ability and will be better for a year in the VFL.

[foxy]

i seriously doubt whether he'll play a game in the seniors this year. check out the training/vfl section for more detailed reports.

he actually reminds me a lot of clokey in his first year at willi. playing the entire year in defence; goes missing sometimes; but when he gets the ball he uses it well. seems a decent team player. doubt he'll ever be a matchwinner though.

I think the chances of any of the rookies in Williamstown haven't much chance of playing this year. Unless Collingwood is struck down with injuries and illness.

Whens Haileys Comet due next ?? Maybe we can take odds of which one will happen first.

Another 40+ years right? So if Bo is still at Collingwood in the next few years he will happen first

Bo will make his debut eventually

they feel that he will develop into a midfield player eventually

playing him of the half back flank in order to improve his defensive game
and his kicking to short distances needs improving turns it over a bit

no problems with long distance kicking

overall still learning the game

Bo looked good in my opinion, I loved the way he outmuscled Kingsley Hunter in the last quarter. He looks the goods to me.

Shackleton on the other hand looks ready to make it in the big league!

[CQ]

well its not like anyone else is performing either, so hes probably not such a long shot haha!

I saw the Box Hill game too, Bo is a good player but i doubt he'll get into senior footy TOO soon..they'll wrk him in Willi a while longer..rupert is playing well for willi and kinnear i think..Anyway Bo is from Assumption College he has to be a good player lol

[The Prototype]

It's hard to say thouf, because the VFL is a different style of football to the AFL. You can be a good player there and be lost in the AFL, I wouldn't think that any of the rookies would get a chance this year. Unless Malthouse has a master plan for them.
