Player Watch Charlie Dixon - Part 2

[PowerLil]

Yes but Connor would be vaccinated so he cant pass it on.

True. My daughter just had it recently. She was crook as a dog. Worked from home for a few weeks. Don't understand why you would take any risk with any age group.

Dixon will retire. Will get plonked out to kick the first goal of our 1st game at AO and hit the post.

I can see him refusing any offer like that and basically go into the wilderness when it comes to football. Doubt he'll ever walk into the club again.

Should've had the decision taken out of his hands at the end of 2022. Watching him hobble around for 2 seasons has been painful in itself.

Will he get the Bronx cheers if we get him to kick the first goal?

The way Hinkley has pushed a clearly cooked Dixon out over the last 2 seasons is just more of the same with his treatment.

"Hey Charlie, come to Port so I can park you under hospital balls 20 times a game for 9 years and when that gameplan has destroyed your body, we'll force you back out onto the park so that not only will we finish off your body, we'll also destroy your reputation."

Dixon is a dumb campaigner for having a crack at the fans and probably a dumb campaigner generally, but he was a warrior for us and the role he was asked to play for 9 seasons was some absolute bullshit. If he'd stayed at Gold Coast or gone to another club, he's probably be sitting pretty with about 200 extra career goals, a fanbase who absolutely love him as a cult hero, and he probably doesn't wince when he gets up off the couch.

Charlie is Boxer from Animal Farm confirmed

The spud turns 34 today, no doubt doing birthday drifts in his $h!tboxes…

 

[Chewy316]

He will get the opportunity to retire, otherwise he will be unceremoniously delisted.

Won't be at Port next year

The birthday post on the clubs Facebook is like 99% women being complimentary in the comments.

I don't mean to cast aspersions about particular demographics, but...

Definitely time. He is cooked. Cooked from a shitty game plan that has asked so much from him physically and his body broke down but i still think he fought hard to the end. The cupboard was bare with Marshall concussed, Finlayson ruled out for the year and Lord having a stinker of a year, so Dixon was asked to battle on even though he and nearly everyone else knew he was done.

Unfairly singled out, particularly this finals series for what has been a disgraceful/shameful finals series from the majority of the playing group and even more so the coach and his shit game plan.

Good riddance our entire forward line structure has suffered for too long.

Consequently our PF severely suffered with his inclusion.

Off thread topic but Chad Cornes also needs to be removed as coach

I know he's not flavour of the month around here, but I agree with you. What I will say about Charlie is that whatever we get from him, you know it's the best he's capable of. If he plays badly as in the Geelong game, it's because he is physically incapable of anything more. If every one of our players played that way, Butters is another one who does, we may not have beaten Sydney, but we would have given them a hell of a better contest.
