I still remember that 1899 grand final between South Melbourne and Fitzroy like it was yesterday
Fred Twelvetrees kicked that first point of the game and it was just too much of a lead to overcome

Ive been thinking the past week or two of Ratagolea in the centre. Would create a ‘brick wall’ and contest coming out of trouble both ways. Probably best then to bring Burton in?Dixon moved and played well against McCartin on the bigger AO in round 21, with Francis taking Ratugolea and Blakey on Georgiades. They didn’t have Melican or Rampe in defence, and no Papley, Amartey, McInnerny or Campbell either. Parker was also sub and came on and gave them a little bit when the game was over. Mills obviously played. Drew started on Warner.
Obviously this will be completely different for lots of reasons. They’re at home, back in form, with a third of their best team back in and will in no way be blindsided by our tactics. We’re seemingly more banged up, with at least two guns down (Farrell and Houston).
Honestly don’t know what to do about playing Dixon, Lord, Visentini or Burton to partner Georgiades and Ratugolea forward. The role we need filled is someone who can contest between the arcs, provide an outlet marking target and drag a tall opponent with him away from Rioli and MG. Preferably someone who can cover ground reasonably well. Such a shame that between Marshall, Dixon and Lord, none is ripe for such an occasion.
I’d also point out that it is very questionable that we’d be better off playing a home prelim against Brisbane (with more expectation on us) rather than a backs against the wall, underdog final away from home.

100% agreeIt's not questionable at all, it's absolute fact that we're more likely to win a PF against Sydney in Sydney than Brisbane in Adelaide. Doesn't mean we will win of course but it's much more likely.

What is even wrong with Dixon (physically, but also in general)?
Supposedly was in the rooms after the game taking photos with fans and family.
Isn't he carrying some infectious virus? Shouldn't he be isolating from the team?

Whooping cough is a highly contagious virus. If he has it I'm not sure why he would be at the game talking to players and fans.Whooping Cough was the 1st story.
That may or may not clear up. It can be weeks.
It would explain his last effort. You are going nowhere if that lingers.
As others have said, he should have been quarantined. Makes no sense to expose everyone else to his infection in the midst of a finals campaign. Negligence.Given Charlie’s very poor showing against the Cats, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was playing under duress then, & was at the tail end of the virus by the time the Hawks game came around.
If it was the genuine flu, he still might struggle to run out a full game against the Swans.
Hope frankie stays hungry where he will probable be hunting the Lizard next weekYup did it pretty well, then they moved Sicily fwd
Whoever plays on the Lizard will be our #1 target inside 50, he can’t defend!Hope frankie stays hungry where he will probable be hunting the Lizard next week
If Dixon is not ill he will play, else Dante gets the gig.Dixon moved and played well against McCartin on the bigger AO in round 21, with Francis taking Ratugolea and Blakey on Georgiades.
