I want Bassett gone as much as anybody but there are some elements of Charlie's game that are ingrained he's just not a natural hard leading forward, of course there are also things that he doesn't control like dickhead teammates kicking to him outnumbered when he's drawing a crowd and trying to be a decoy.. I've heard Bassett hint at this.

The fact that the other forwards also don't lead at the ball carrier makes it look like coaches instructions.

I know highlights can be deceiving but this guys are very exciting speed , above head marking and on the lead , left and right foot most of all great shot for GL out in front and on the boundary.
And also has abit if campaigner about him a future 3rd can't go wrong.

At least the US have the sense to limit presidents to a maximum of 8 years in office.
I expect Dixon to finish his career playing more as the fwd/ruck. Whether that transition starts this year probably depends more on Georgiades and Finlayson than on Dixon himself.

He would be excellent at that role. He is a very good ruckman. It has been too dangerous to play him much in the ruck recently because of the risk to his body, and the fact that we had nothing really behind him in his position, but Marshall, another preseason in the gym for Georgiades and finlayson is a pretty handy tall bunch.
Oh well at least we have Finlayson, looking forward to see how he can fit in and help our team.

2 snaps on his right, including one from 50 is something I hadn't noticed before.
He definitely seems a class above what we have as a finisher.
I have always really liked Finlayson at GWS, but always felt he had so much more to give, and to become. Still is not near his ceiling IMO, so will be interesting to see what our great coaching group can do with him!
I think he will turn out to be a really good get.

I just read the news on the GWS Fan Forum regarding Kellie, the partner of Jeremy Finlayson battling colorectal cancer.
My thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
There is a support thread on GWS Fan Forum page, I'm unsure how to introduce that thread to this site so The Port Adelaide Community can support one of its own.

Jeremy's Instagram is now private (it wasn't until just recently), but there is a GoFundMe link there with more info about Kellie's situation:

My buddy Jeremy has now been handed a nice forward spot between Mitch and Marshall now that Dixon is on the outer for a bit. I'm very confident that he will cement his spot in our 2022 team in the forward line, this is his best position to develop his career.

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
I want to see this happening!!
Dixon recovering until the winter slog.
Then deciding between the two come finals!

All three would be more productive working into space than in contested marking situations, with the possible exception of Mitch and even he would prefer room to run and jump in those instances. Will be interesting to see whether Hinkley/Bassett try to shoehorn them into last season's gameplan or whether they have already been working on another forward gameplan especially given the addition of Finlayson and the realization that Charlie won't always be around.

If he performs
Odd comment!
At this point in time the entire season is a bunch of "ifs" ... Every single player is an "if."
The fact is, that at this point, with a question mark over Charlie, just having him has proved to be a fantastic insurance move.

It could depend on the health and well being of his missus too.
If she needs his support, which is distinctly possible and warranted, he may not play at all, so hopefully she recovers.
