Sounds like Charlie will play sanfl this weekend.

Hope they’ve got the ground at Loxton ready for him. Reckon it’s worth the drive up to the Riverland.

I'll go for a kick tomorrow and let you know.
Ground was a big soggy and a few mud patches last week after some rain, but it's been dry since so should come up alright.

 

[Quadzilla]

Dumont, Mead and Mayes are now out of protocols and available.

Jonas is expected to be out later this week and available.

Dixon and Fantasia are available to play.

 

[PatientMental]

I think we have had our best years out of Big Charlie and things may only get worse from here on in. Charlie had dicky ankles when he came to us so we have probably been lucky to get 100+ games from him. Charlie has a 3 year deal which will see him at Alberton until the end of 2023 and by then he will be 33.

Geez that's depressing to say the least, so much money for so little return

Like just about everyone else, his legacy was going to rise and fall based on what happened in the 2020 finals series. Win that prelim and potentially go on to win the flag and Koch, Hinkley, Dixon (All Australian that year), Boak, Gray and everyone else are heroes. That was our year but we f***** it up deluxe.

Injection

Yeah, I'm well aware of the surgery but there has been considerable debate in this forum re Dixon going to Melbourne for injections etc.

True or false?

Watch the video. It appears to be true.

Quite ridiculous he'd fly back there unless there was something seriously wrong.

 

[robbo1981]

I'm over it to be honest .

Isn't his surgeon over in Melb? Gone for a check?

Am I wrong in thinking he played every game bar the first round in 2020 and every game for 2021?

Charlie played 18 games in 2020 and 24 last year so that sounds about right. In fact he has played 103 games for us in the period 2016-18 when he amassed 61 games and 2020-21 when he played 42. His only wipe out years have been this year and in 2019 when he only managed 9 games.

Charlie only played 65 games in 5 seasons with the Suns with 16 games in 2016 his best return. Given that record we have probably had more from him than some of us expected.

 

[RossFC]

After all the returns from illness we are now with 9 players unavailable (5 AFL listed + 4 SANFL listed).

Charlie played 65 out of possible 110 games with GC.

I have no idea what the split is between injury and form for missing those 45 games.

From Rd 1 2016 to Rd 21 2018 he played 61 out of possible 65 games for us before he dislocated his ankle v WCE in that Rd 21 game and people wank on about his glass ankles.

A dislocated ankle requires a huge twisting force to wrench the ball from the socket joint. There is nothing glass ankle about that injury. Give your non kicking foot the hardest kick you can with your kicking foot, and see how much you can remove your ankle from the joint so it turns your kicked foot 90 degrees from where it should be.

It was pretty impressive that he only missed the last 2 games of 2018 and then the first 12 games of 2019 after that injury.

He misses 1 more game in 2019 and the first game of Rd 1 in 2020, covid hits and he plays every game between Rd 2 2020 and the 21 PF. So he misses 2 out of 53 games after coming back from a massive injury, yet he is supposed to have glass ankles.

Its amazing that his injured ankle has stood up so well over those 53 games given weighting around 110kgs and the amount of stress he puts it under, the way he trains and plays.

Not surprised its all catching up with him, but I wouldn't count him out yet.

 

[Saltiga]

Be good if the club would give a decent update on the prognosis of Josh Sinn's groin injury.

They won't. Goes against the sunshine and rainbows narrative.

Hot take.

We put charlie on the park when he was injured and told him to suck it up.

Gold coast sent him for surgery as soon as he got hurt.

Charlie turns 32 in September and is out of contract at the end of 2023 so how ever it pans out I reckon one more season will be it for Big Charlie.

It depends on the injury. Some injury you can play with and some you can't. I found these Gold Coast updates dating back to 2013 and 2015. They both refer to ankle injuries but do not mention if it is the same ankle. I suspect that we knew about Charlie's history with ankle injury, took a punt on him, and I would say it has worked out.

Dixon Injury Update

Charlie Dixon will be closely monitored by the club's medical staff this week, after sustaining an ankle injury in the final term of the GC SUNS victory over North Melbourne at Metricon Stadium.

Players want to play. They also want to get paid match payments.

When did the Suns put him in for surgery mid season?
