News Charlie Dixon signs for West Broken Hill

[drcollossimo]

I want Charlie Dixon gone from the PAFC as soon as possible. I don’t buy that he’s been good for us at all. It may have had a lot to do with the way we used him, but he’s been a B-grade big forward his entire career, except for one AA year, and even then he couldn’t deliver enough to get us over the line in a prelim final.

More to the point his opposite number for Richmond did!

Meanwhile this bonehead doesn't appreciate our 2 cents and considers us white noise

You know he’s a reflection of the coach (and management) right?

Agreed, I can cut him some slack for the way he was used, but except for that one AA year the career of Dixon as a forward probably lies somewhere between those of Tex Walker and Jerker Jenkins, and as unpalatable as it would no doubt be for a lot of Port barrackers I suspect most unbiased supporters of other clubs would have Tex winning the outright honours fairly convincingly.

He is more worried about his life after footy instead of being invested while being paid exorbitant amounts of money

I want Lord to keep Dixon out next year.
He can play in the SANFL until he announces his retirement

Hanging around for Chux Grudge money.

 

[Nelso]

And people still think that we should play Dixon ahead of Lord.

Time to invest games into Lord instead of some guy whose leg is hanging by a thread.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Still our most important forward.

we need him fit and firing.

But agreed we must find a way to introduce lord into the team regularly and I’m not sure we can play them together unless Dixon is playing some part in the second ruck

I'm not sure this line of thinking holds up any more, it's like going to the well a thousand times for the same result. The reality is a mix of Marshall, Finlayson & Lord might yield a better less predictable forward half.

I've had enough of him on 1 foot with 1 arm in the air, that crap isn't going to win us a flag. We need to move on.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

He is pretty much cooked. When he does get on the field he can still contribute but the chances of him playing any more than 10 games this year must be very slim. I reckon over the past year he has had about 5 or 6 different injuries.

Regardless his tone and body language is defeatist. If you've put your hand up to get a contract you should be a) fit enough to contribute and b) with the mindset that you can.

Suck dix, more like dix sucks

 

[Harlott]

Time to move on

Definitely. And he has a couple of friends in the same camp too.

I second the motion.

It's not quite the Bhagavad Gita but it is pretty good.

 

[PortPortPort]

Should've been delisted last year, he is injury prone, too inconsistent and can't do 1v1s.

All he has is meanface.

 

[TeeKray]

Dixon himself isn't the problem. He's an All Australian player and would've been easily the best key forward in 2 of the last 3 premiership teams. The inability of the coaching staff to maximise his value by creating a functioning forward line around him is the problem.

I struggle to believe someone that says (and presumably believes) the things that Dixon says is not part of the problem.

Hmm maybe a few years ago I actually think he's the type a coach like McRae would move on now.

He's just a dumb footballer. The role of the coach is to instill the right attitude into these guys. He would've been a killer under Choco.

He doesn't hate to lose. Williams might have taught him to love winning but it isn't the same thing.

 

[PAFC66]

He's basically the same as Travis Cloke was at the end of his career at Collingwood at this point. Useless. If he wanted to play on he should've been traded.

Not sure he's ever cared enough to be a "killer". Football is just a hobby to him alongside his cars and bikes.
