News Charlie Dixon signs for West Broken Hill

[ozph1870]

Doesn't take enough marks, doesn't kick enough goals. Gets pushed off the ball too easily for a man of his size. I thought last year's final would be the turning point and the moment he started to fully realise his potential. That has not happened, quite the opposite actually.

6 points in a row... as well as he played he actually cost us that game, he knows that.

 

[Noobz0r]

Lacks intent and misses easy targets by foot.

 

[MrPlow]

I like the big man but he is having a terrible year.

Always seems like he’s overrun the ball and doesn’t crash the packs like a giant of his size should.

It is simply not enough to say “he provides a contest”. That is John Butcher talk...

Charlie is paid 700k a year to kick goals. Even when he gets the opportunity, his conversation rate is sitting around the 30% mark, which is beyond comprehension.

 

[David Puddy]

I've defended Dixon strongly ever since he's been with us and had his knockers, but it's getting to a point where you can no longer defend him.

Field kicking is terrible, can't hold a mark, can't kick for goal, can't time a lead, can't win a one on one.

Jesus.

 

[Marmozet]

He was shocking yesterday.

Droppable but too bad we need him in the ruck now.

 

[Powerade 08]

I'd play him in the ruck then drop him when Ryder gets back.

He has been the only constant in a forward line that doesn't work. His form is not great anyway. We gotta try something.

 

[ploppy]

Look I love Dixon but I don’t think it is working for him up forward at the moment. He is not taking grabs and not kicking goals..goals that we need. With paddy out I would put him in the ruck and let him find some confidence. Put someone else up forward. A few weeks in the ruck would do him good.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

This trade is almost just about bust.. 750-800k a season and at clutch times turns to water.

Yeah, that's not correct.

 

[PAFC66]

Yeah, that's not correct.

What is it then? That's what everyone media outlet drum on about. It's atleast 700k.

 

[PAFC66]

2/3 shit years so far..

No it isn't and no it isn't.

$3.1mil over 5 years = 620k a year.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Dixon is simply another victim of the extremist defensive ideology of Hinkley & Bassett.

 

[Alyx]

Dixon is a 200cm, 108kg full-forward.

Our game plan has him running from end to end the entire match.

Is it any wonder he can't jump, mark, or kick?

He is stuffed, and the blame falls entirely on our coaches.

This makes it sound like Hinkley and Bassett murdered him.

I don’t know why we even bother with forwards any more.
Let’s just recruit more defenders.

 

[Nemisis]

I heard on FiveAA that Port have directed an inside 50 to Dixon 140 odd times this year. The most of any forward in the comp. (Brown was second Norths)
Something is obviously not working

I’ll bet it is usually to a three on one. Oppo have worked out Dix very well.
Plus the last two weeks have oppo teams been tagging Ollie?

They’re ludicrous gameplan has a lot to do with the way Dixon is playing.

Plus I think his new GF has got his heart and his mind atm.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Nothing screams Port more than Dixon getting a touch on the defensive half of the ground and kicking to a contest up the line.

The role we have him in is completely worthless to our ability to kick goals.

Also doesn't help he's got no idea how to lead.

 

[Papa G]

Just outlined on Footy Classified that we are the lowest scoring team in the 8. Our forward line is shut.

We are actively killing his career it's hard to know what he can and can't do as he's barely played as a trad KPF in total footballery Kernstyle tbh.. the guy is shagged out 90% of the time.

Yep that comes with trying to win 50 to 30. If we win then it's great, if we lose then we've just watched a shit football game and lost.

We’re actually the lowest scoring team in the Top 10 as it stands.

 

[edgie]

Scoring is only relative to what the other guys score anyway
