Re: Is Charlie Dixon THAT Good?
Charlie is good enough, but a bit one dimensional.
When his marking is taken away he doesn't contribute anywhere near as much as he should.

Re: Is Charlie Dixon THAT Good?
Wat hung the replay, he rarely posed a threat. A far cry from previous outings against us.

One of his two was a downfield wasn’t it?

Re: Is Charlie Dixon THAT Good?
He's good just a bit one trick pony-ish. Not like Naughton & Weightman
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

You're spot on. Naughty and Cody are unicorns.

Rumoured he has not been offered another contract and will be told to explore his options. He's been linked to a return to the Suns for a few months.
Hamish Hartlett also let go by Port.

He's still got 2 more years to run on his current contract.

You're hardly an authority on contracts though.........

If you look at Naughton's stats 95% of his goals come from set shots - so he is a bit of a 1-trick pony.
Luckily for us that trick is flying at the footy from 7 deep, crunching packs and taking ridiculous marks.

Naughton is still in the contest when the ball hits the ground though. He's quite neat below his knees. I don't know how goal assist stats but I suspect they'd be pretty respectable.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Naughton's defensive efforts to chase and harass are unlike any I've seen from a KPF. That's a pretty handy second trick that makes him unique.

Outside of this year he'd have a decent number of non-set shot goals wouldn't he?

He's also given away a few Joe the Gooses to team mates running into goal.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Is Charlie Dixon THAT Good?
So I absolutely love Naughton and he is probably my fav Bulldogs player but I'm guessing these stats will surprise some of the last few posters here. They are 2021 stats.
Naughton vs Dixon
6 score involvements a game 6.3
0.5 goal assists 0.5
1.6 tackles 2.1
0.9 tackles inside 50 0.9
9.2 pressure acts 11.4
3.3 marks inside 50 1.8
2.7 Contested marks 2.5
