Wouldn't have a clue, don't think he followed alex's lead though. That I'm pretty sure.


I prefer my players on an oval fwiw.
Are you going to watch the game? It really was a historical game for Port, first team to lose to Gold Coast wasn't it? Gave up a big lead? Westhoff choked? Great day.

You have to wonder how long Dixon is going to last with his knees.

It's going to get weaker and weaker with the constant knee injuries.

He's had previous knee injuries? That's news to me.
Yeah, it was a few weeks back :rolleyes:

But previous to that I checked his profile at the Suns and his knees were not mentioned at all:

The imposing forward was restricted to 14 games through a combination of ankle, adductor, groin and quad injuries​

Uhh, I guess copping a knock to the knee classifies as an injury in a weird 'doesn't stop from training and continues the next day' kind of injury.

So you've named no previous knee injuries? I know where to come to for information regarding our players now.

It was a joke Bill, lighten up. Didn't you see the :rolleyes: roll-eyes guy? Just because the headline says "Dixon injures knee", it was all in jest mate. So defensive for someone who thinks the real injury is nothing and is a great thing as he will be flying by the time the season starts. Relax, maybe take a break? Try a Power nap - I've heard they are good fun.

I never said he'd be flying by the time the season starts. I'm aiming for round 5 when it starts to look difficult.

Yeah when the real season starts right?

St Kilda at AO - thrash them by 100
Adelaide at AO - a 10 goal whipping minimal
Essendon at AO - 100 points again
GWS at SO - barely need to turn up

How would you feel if you're 2-2 after the first 4 rounds?

I would feel 2 and 2. Which is fewer than 46 and 2.

Channel 9 said tonight Port will get a top up player, so i'm sure they're glad about that. Almost had to play Butcher!
Can't wait to see Cameron Wood suit up for the Power this year............


On Dixon, interesting Port are saying he will be ready round one. Be interesting to see if that is the case, or is just the Port Power PR Machine manipulating their Lemming supporters as they did last week after his knee bump. We will see round one.

Burgess is saying 4-6 but at this time of the year it looks like we can quietly give him more (6-8 weeks) to recover. Tredders (very well known for knees) has tweeted saying it's possible to get back in 3-4.

I am guessing his surgery is the more minor kind? Which is where they get their six weeks from.

Good to see the Port PR Machine in full swing though, with Tredrea frantically Tweeting that everything will be allright.
