No real shame in that, Hawkins is a first ballot HOFer. Dixon is far more agile than Hawkins though and if he played for Geelong, he'd probably have a couple more AA guernseys in his cabinet.
I also agree with philthy05 that if we're going to have a monster KPF, he needs to be able to ruck. Dixon should be our 2nd ruck at the moment.

I see your "Hawkins is a far smarter footballer than Dixon" and raise you a "Chris Scott is a far, far better coach than Saviour Ken"
No shit but I think people are being ridiculous thinking Dixon's lack of presenting & leading is all Hinkley.I see your "Hawkins is a far smarter footballer than Dixon" and raise you a "Chris Scott is a far, far better coach than Saviour Ken"
3rd tall/ruck is Dixon's role and he would be great at it.

Maybe that's why he shaved his beard can't be the monster anymore lol
Hawkins definitely has other advantages over Dixon too... like the totally legitimate supplement programme down at Geelong

Dante will go past him like he is standing still.
Dixon isn't a Ruck and as a 3rd tall he draws the ball too much and he's simply not who players should be seeing moving forward.
We should have 4 options Marshall/Mitch/Finlayson and Rozee who are better ball in hand than Dixon and players are drawn to our 5th best option. Players see Dixon and they don't see better options.
Id be comfortable with a MG Marshall, resting 2nd ruck forward line (finlayson) to kick enough goals to play finals.
Add around them Rioli, Fantasia spp and a resting butters or rozee and i think the Dixon plan of bombing it on his head becomes obsolete

lol his output is atrocious. That period was the prime of his career.
To be fair, his body has been so incredibly reliable and well worth the absurd wage he was paid.
A wet fart of a career
God Dixon and Hinkley have been a colossal waste of a decade and have gone hand in hand with our mediocrity.
Their only good years were the ones were we were given a free pass to go win a flag in 2020 and 2021 thanks to covid and we pissed it away.

I watched some highlights of old games and the commentators frequently mentioning Schultz's forward craft and leading, "so smart there" (something I've never heard them say about Charlie; only ever heard "so strong" which doesn't have the same conversion rate as smart.
