Legend. The best way of describing him.

 

[Bald]

Best memory I have of Dickson, is I remember sitting in my dads car listening to us playing Port Adelaide. It was an evening game and I think he kicked somewhere between 5-7 goals. Not sure if my memory is clouded or not.

Edit: Correction - it was Fremantle in 2015.

 

[Brian Perrin]

His contribution to the 2016 Premiership should never be underestimated - such a reliably deadly shot for goal - shame we couldn’t say farewell

15 goals in 5 finals @ average of 3 per game, stood up when needed, pity his body let him down last few years.

 

[Here we go dogs]

One of our most important ever contributors in finals football. Thank-you Dicko

 

[Yesterday Dog]

Feels like yesterday that Dicko came to the club after pinching from the clutches of a peeved Essendon FC. But what an impact and what a revelation for us as a club. A true Bulldog in his application to his craft and even flawed like a Bulldog, in a funny fashion like when he psyched himself out during his run as dead-eye. Going to miss Dicko

Thanks for the memories tinder

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

A club legend. He’ll be missed around Whitten Oval but he’s contributed to something that will never be forgotten.

Congrats on a great career.

 

[Testekill]

Was one of the deadliest forwards in the game at his peak, cannot understate how important he was in 2016.

 

[Dogma84]

Thankyou Tinder Dickson. Huge part of the '16 flag

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Mr Reliable was one of my favourite players. Who will ever forget his contribution during the 2016 finals; not only kicking the goals but outsmarting opponents like Heath Shaw were highlights.

Thanks and good luck, Tory. Forever a Bullgod.

 

[MJG14]

Such an important player in our premiership year. Was really good in our Prelim v GWS, and fittingly had the last touch of the ball. Kicked 50 goals in 2015 as well.

Thank you and congratulations on a great career.

 

[JTCWBFC]

One of my favourite players. A true forward who you wanted to have the ball in hand.

Sign the man up now as a full time goal kicking coach.

All the best Tory. You will be missed.

 

[gordo2016]

Dicko set the scene in the 2016 Prelim. He beat Shaw and another GWS player in the goal square just through sheer will and desperation to dribble through a goal. Was inspirational and sent the message to the Plastics that no matter how hard it got this was one day the Dogs were not going to roll over. Forever a Premiership hero!

 

[ScragCity]

All four goals in the 2016 prelim were huge individual efforts. One of my favourites. Thank you, Tory.

 

[ManOfClay]

Farewell sweet prince

 

[Bulldogs85]

Thanks for everything Legend you will be missed

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Most accurate kick for goal I can think of for the Dogs.

 

[weltschmerz]

Most accurate kick for goal I can think of for the Dogs.

Just about for the entire AFL.

 

[DognBones]

Speaking from the point of view of someone who followed the Dogs for more than half a century before I saw a premiership, I cannot thank Tory Dickson enough for his contribution to that achievement. He will always remain a legend in my mind.

 

[Jeff 1975]

Premiership in the pocket, great player, thanks for the memories Tory

 

[bobs head soup]

181.61. Thank heavens for Tory cause nobody else converted like he did. We would love a mid twenties Dicko on our list right now.

Funnily enough when I think of him kicking for goal, my first memory is the point he kicked on the 2016 PF siren

Kicked 50 in 2016 and backed it up with 40 in 2017. Great numbers for a forward pocket.

Thanks for the memories Tory. Always a Premiership Dog and a great career for a guy who debuted at 24.

 

[Yojimbo]

2015 Jake Stringer 56, Tory Dickson 50, when we were kings and the goals did not kick themselves, never forget. (To pinch a Scragism)

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Thanks Tory, an amazingly accurate player in front of goals, I always felt confident when the ball got to him.

Always a Bullgod.
