Toast Charlie Dixon Retires

Our coaches overrate our fowards, because they only train against our defenders.

Port Meeting
Ken: Dixon are you wiling to play on, I know you want to play with ur cars
Dixon: ME big scary I can still play on, I need money for more cars
Ken: Ok, but will your body be fine as I will pick you no matter what
Dixon: Yes daddy
Physios: Dixon you literally have 10 broken bones in your fee...
Dixon: Jus, Jus, Just give me my money
Port board: YEAHHHHH
Ken: Another Contract for Dixon Now

 

[Gryllis]

Sad way to go out, but the signs he was cooked were clear early in the year. The breif return to form and bag of 4 was the outlier.

Cannot play next week.

He'll be hooning around the Adelaide Hills this arvo in one of his toys without a care in the world.

Can he play his next game with his motorbike? Its the only way he can get to the ball or chase down his opponent.

 

[jakey]

Let's play a guy who can't run and is barely serviceable in the H+A in the finals and see what happens for the LOLs

 

[Sheeds]

Charlie declared we were travelling well after a 12 goal loss at home to Hawthorn in the Russell Ebert tribute game. So a 14 goal loss must mean we are travelling extra well.

 

[JimmyBC]

Where's that Poweroid guy telling us how great Dixon is?

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Not the best final by Dixon.

Super duper cooked.

 

[GoPorts]

Nah, I reckon even he knows his paycheck ends next week

 

[PAFC66]

Watching this guy is like watching a EJ footy legends match . He looks like he retired 3 years ago

 

[Portmagpies36]

I can’t stand seeing him with hands on his knees short of breath and it’s 10 minutes into the second quarter horrendous body language.

 

[JimmyBC]

Nah, I reckon even he knows his paycheck ends next week

It wouldn't matter he's made a fortune and probably has business and property interests, a serious footy club would've tapped him on the shoulder two years ago.

Every AO pre game ‘kick and a catch’. I especially watch Charlie and Chad having their 10 minute interaction. I know it’s only a ‘kick and a catch’ with no pressure but Charlie’s field kicking to Chad is, how I say it, sublime.
Charlie turns on his left and sends a beautifully weighted 40 metre right foot kick onto Chad’s chest. Chad does not have to move an inch and Charlie repeats this move over and over again.
My ‘what if’ is - should Charlie early in his Port career been tried as a CHB. We know his marking skills are there and with his, to me, pretty good field kicking he could have been a defensive doyen for Port.
Of course we will never know as Charlie will most probably at seasons end head off to his garage to keep vintage Holdens on the road.
Edit
I remember when Tim Evans came to Port as a CHB but Jack Cahill thought to himself and said “gee Timmy would make a great full forward”. Jack was on the money!

Watching this guy is like watching an EA Sports footy game for a 16-bit Sega Master-System 2 from 1993.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Watching him run after his opponent, he's like 10x slower than Dylan Williams. Absolutely does my head watching it and seeing how he was selected.

 

[King_Tredrea]

I would have some level of sympathy for him if he hadn't constantly shown contempt to our members and their desire for actual on field success

Between Dixon’s shambolic physical state and the hilariously overconfident ‘Connor’s hamstring is fine, you doomsayers!’ Showdown debacle, it makes you wonder if Hinkley bothers to seriously observe training.

That preseason mic’d up segment on Fox Footy just had him cracking jokes and bemoaning Butters(?) going in too hard, so there might be something to this.

I was thrilled when we got him. From what I’d seen of him at the Suns, he was an athletic phenom who could get up and down the ground not unlike prime Tredrea, and his field kicking was right up there.

Could take an old-fashioned clunk, and his set shooting was very very good. The only question mark on his game was durability and longevity.

Granted the plan to use him in luxurious tandem with Schulz evaporated almost immediately, but i’m not sure increasingly pigeonholing him as a bash’n’crash pivot did him or us any favours in the long run.

 

[JimmyBC]

I actually think we cooked him in the Cross Country Chuck period before he was the one arm up bash bollard.

Definitely a possibility. Some say there is still a network of trenches below the Adelaide Oval surface after he ploughed an endless furrow the night of the 2017 Elimination Final.
