Ben Dixon

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Underrated media performer, unbiased, polite and sensible interviewer, doesn't over analyse, breath of fresh air {even though he's been around for a little while}, could easily be a Hawks cheerleader but rarely commentates hawks games.

Was enjoyable on The Recruit as well. Much better than the CH7 team and half the flogs on fox footy.

Remember when i was a lee little lad he kicked a goal pretty much on the siren to beat carlton. Always loved the bloke

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Slayed the women too.

On the siren?
It was after the siren

There was also 15 players on the mark (and one appeared to throw his mouth guard)


The thing with Dixon is, he's had to work his way into the position he's in

He's been boundary rider for women's games, vfl, etc

He isn't the entitled "champion" who got a media gig right out of footy
He had to learn what it took

Always reminds me of this.

Damn right there, he is no Cameron Mooney

Loses points for being employed by a sports betting company. Moral compass a bit iffy.

I feel so sorry for all people who have been forced into sports betting against their will! Sad!

 

[arfadunger]

Agreed, I quite like his style. As already mentioned, he was good on the Recruit too. Hopefully he is also going to be involved in the upcoming season of it.

what a monster

Think he is pretty average tbh. He cant even hang his hat on the fact of being a great player either

What does being a great player have to do with his opinion? Anyway, he wasn't an all-time great, but he was a pretty darn good footballer.

 

[Flandersss]

Tries too hard IMO.

He's spat on " the recruit" a few years ago was cringeworthy. average player at best aswell.

 

[DylanR]

His better than all the fox footy and 7 w***ers

 

[Flandersss]

His better than all the fox footy and 7 ******s

Not better than Sandy Roberto

 

[Super Hans]

Think he and Sarah Jones (first time I've seen her actually do a game on the weekend) are the best boundary commentators in the media. Much better than people like Cameron Ling and Andrew Welsh.

Knows when to have a laugh and when to be serious. e.g his post game interview with Buddy.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Never really noticed him to be honest, he's just there. That might be a good thing. Doesn't do the "HAY GUYZ WE'RE ALL MAYTES, ONE OF THE BOYZ, YEAH WE BANGED CHICKS BY THE DOZEN WHILE WE WENT ON UDL BENDERS" Cameron Mooney style.

This attitude is what's wrong with the AFL media. I don't think there's a sport in the world that cares so much about a commentators playing career than AFL.

We need more Martin Tyler's and less Luke Darcy's.

Mooney just loveeeessssss himself.

Not bad for a shit footballer. anyone would have kicked over 60+ goals in the Geelong 07-09 era. Heck even Quentin Lynch kicked over 60+ once thanks to Judd, Kerr & co

He'll get found out, he's a simpleton. He brown nosed his way in, offers absolutely nothing.

Obviously being a couch potato didn't appeal to Cameron.

there should be a whole thread dedicated to average players that become know it all's post career

my all time highlight was mumbles mcveigh's insightful coverage of the peptide bombers !!
