Charlie Dixon’s consistency comes down to new footwear, says Port Adelaide teammate Hamish Hartlett
“I asked Charlie a couple of weeks ago how the ankle is and how his body was holding up and he said, ‘yeah, it’s good, it’s good running around in a new pair of boots’,” Hartlett told Fox Sports News 500.
“I thought that was a bit crazy. He said he’d been wearing boots up at the Gold Coast, which were two or three years old because he struggles to find boots that actually fit him.
“He’s got a fresh pair this year and his ankles are holding up all right, which is positive.”
Dixon is averaging 2.4 goals per game in 2016, but it’s his contested work that has impressed the Power the most.
At the halfway mark of the season, Dixon has taken the sixth most contested marks of any player in the competition, with three of those coming against the Magpies

Lol, wat? If that's not a piss take the AFL should be stepping in to run GC directly (even more so). They seriously had a $400k - $500k a year athlete with ankle issues and didn't look at getting custom made shoes?
 
We should pillage that club as much as possible, especially with Kenny/Hart/Dixon on board.

Who else you got GC?
 
Lol the moment I had a slight ankle problem at the footy club id joined last year, the physio suggested new shoes. Gold Coast is "supposed to be" a professional team. FFS.

i was quietly pretty happy the media made a little thing out of his centring kick to Neade in *that* passage of play. it was 5th or so in the 10 plays of the round and i really felt after watching the 5 or so before it that ours was easily the best looking footy, our penetrating direct style mixed with high skill is as strong a brand as you could want to have. in the grand scheme of things we aren't taking too long for it to slowly come together with all this new personnel, too.

as the sign said - we <3 big dix !!!

his ankles were so ridic taped up on sunday, I couldn't believe it. there was soft tape and then rigid tape.
I was soft, then went rigid too. he was almost as tall as me while sitting down.

Yes they have been taping his ankles pretty firmly. It seems to be working, they must have one helluva strapper. Wasn't it last year, or the year before, that we suffered a lot of ankle injuries.
 
So when they say he likes a glass of red wine the night before a game it was actually altar wine?
If you ask Malceski he would tell you Charlie was stealing it from the good lord himself, and thanks to them getting rid of him they are now at peace with themselves and can now train for football properly.
