Mate, I know you love your crazy conspiracies but the AFL don't hate port for getting Dixon. Seriously.
Dixon can't melt steel beams.
I wasn't saying it as a conspiracy - merely a reason why we were given a ranking of 12 in the trade period while other teams doing less got a higher ranking, even though we got the best KPF on offer. Don't be a hater :p

We know Gray is good for 20-35
, wingod 35-50. Schultz you'd think 15-30

IF Dixon gets on the track, that's top 4 time
He kicked 44 goals this year.
What makes you think his output is going to more than halve?

I think he's going to go the other way. With Dixon up there, he'll no longer take the best defender or get double teamed...

I can feel a 60-goal season coming on...

Great point! Who do you think will kick more goals next year? Schulz or Dixon? I'm gonna go with Jay. Hope both guys stay injury free!

I have seen footage of him getting triple tagged.

The only reason why he won't better last year is injury.

You'd really have to have a need for it, wce knew they could get Sheed with 11 so we're happy to do the deal.

Thats the only scenario where you'd bother surely.
Not any more...
It now depends on if the club in question wants points or picks...
Wish GCS were up front. If it was known they wanted points we could've possibilly kept pick 10 and given the our 2nd, 3rd and a raft of other lower level picks...

From now on when we enter trade negotiations, I think this is something we need to figure out / ask early...

Do they want picks or points...

Or swapped 10 for two picks of slightly better combined value. Win for them and win for us as our next in line pick will go up 2 spots instead of one.

Dixon will kick 70 next year.

Lol 12th in trade period.
Noticed that.
What tosser wrote that article?

We give up a first rounder for a KPF and it's "Paid a significant price to get spearhead Charlie Dixon"
Give up a 2015 & 2016 first rounder for a midfielder as Geelong and Collingwood did and mo mention of paying a significant price...

And WTF is the tosser going on about when he says "Have to retain players now and start to regenerate with youth"?

Can't remember the last player we lost (that we didn't want to lose - Burgoyne maybe in 2008?) and Jay is our only player over 30 - not exactly an old list...

That author is a campaigner...
