Ben Dixon

He looked in a bit of trouble before the start of the 2nd half.... hunched over and vomiting after taking his position. The fact he was feeling the way he was, yet still took his place on the ground while the game was in the balance was admirable enough. The stats and match reviews won't show it, but his next 15-20 mins were inspirational. He was in obvious discomfort(waving away several trainers trying to come to his aide), yet made several sprints to create a contest, several more to provide an option for team-mates, created a goal for Murphy, kicked one himself, and crashed and bashed his way through packs.
I just thought I'd make mention of this as Dixon is a player who doesn't really get the recognition he deserves when he plays well.

Wow, I didn't realise he was in that bad shape, ormond.

Now that I realise that, it makes his performance yesterday seem all the more better!

He's been such a solid contributor over the years, along with crawf I really hope this young team can reward him with some finals success before he goes!

At last weeks game i think i heard something about him being # 10 in our all time goal kicking list. i didnt believe it at the time and i still dont but can someone let me no. love him though ever since THAT game against carlton

I also heard he is in the top 10 goal kickers of all time. He is a solid contributor, a veteran and a true leader at the club. He always chips in and I think the lack of respect he gets some times does bite alot of clubs back.

He surely is. Saw it in Year Book.
Pleasantly suprised as I've aslways been a bit of a fan, despite him being somewhat frustrating.
