Player Watch Charlie Dixon Part 2

Not a Tredrea but definitely a colossus. Awesome watching him take the ball at the top of his reach, cannot be spoiled. But that one handed ground play where he shrugs off tackles like insects while waving the footy around like a tennis ball is breathtaking.

Anyone who thinks we don't develop players just watch Charlie in action.

You'd be delisting guys left, right and center if you made snap judgement's on a pathetically small sample size of games like that.
I'll say it again he will kick goals at AFL level if given the chance they obviously have concerns about his pressure and getting up and back.. seems pretty mobile to me I'd keep him on the list.

I'm very thankful to the Gold Coast Suns that they decided to fix their culture issues by dumping big Charles on Ports.

I think clubs have been rather thankful of GC for giving away players for high prices/or nothing and repeatedly ******* up the picks they get in.

Prestia(Rich), Smith(Geel), Dixon(Port), O'Meara(Haw), Weller (St.K), Caddy(Geel/Rich), Schade(Coll), Hickey(St.K)

and if he comes good Harley Bennell(Frem).

Yes well I may have to eat my words about our poor player development.

And Scott Clayton is lauded as some recruitment guru in the AFL and he has survived this long. I'm pretty sure part of the review will see him get the arse.

And at the other end of the scale this is why the GWS will be scary between years 8 and 13

Bugg/Hombsch/Treloar/Bruce/Tyson/Hoskin-Elliot/Taylor Adams/Plowman/Boyd/McCarthy/Marchbank/ and a few others.

I guess you haven't heard of a player called THE BIG CAPTAIN TEXAN TAYLOR TEX WAYNE CAREY WALKER BURGER.
Josh Jenkins looks at this post and starts singing 'What about me? It isn't fair, I Joe the Goose and it's like I'm not there'.

Daniher tbh. Then maybe the big dick
i reckon that comes down to the old debate of do you value a CHF or FF more? I know strictly the roles don't exist anymore, but Dixon plays more as a CHF, Daniher more as a FF. And I'll take a dominate CHF (especially now with Marshall we have another real KPF there), over a dominate FF every day. Buddy is just a freak you'd of course take over either.
