Hawkins is a far smarter footballer than Dixon don't kid yourselves.

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.

3rd tall/ruck is Dixon's role and he would be great at it.

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

Yet we'll have umpteen media drones saying big Charlie & his big scary beard is the key for Port Power success.
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.
