I thought he meant Dixon. In his good score he was OK around the ground, but hardly won a tap.
I thought Dixon, but Angry Ant said "......the past couple of weeks.....", but Dixon didn't play Rd6, so I wasn't sure.

Tough call who to field, Dixon or S Hayes, have you a preference?

Hayes over Dixon for me Bermi

English though may play and Bulldogs do shark a lot which doesnt help. Still, Hayes should be better and last week conditions didnt help.

Dixon will be around the ball, tough ruck combo up against, he is good at ground level, mixed on midfield. Only the one good score on larger sample size.

Thanks for that, I'm leaning to Hayes too.
I think both should score better than most of my Fwd and Mid Rookies, but can only field one.

Still got J Hayes myself so I'll be looping, but in a vacuum I probably slightly lean Dixon, more out of hope than anything else. His spike game saw him thrown behind the ball for a little while and I reckon there's a reasonable chance they do that for periods again given they'll probably be copping a hiding. No Witherden and potentially Barrass too, although I guess they're plugging holes everywhere at the moment.

Man, COVID is going to deprive us of a priority pick :rolleyes:

First we scrape past WAFL West Coast for our only win, now Freo have half the side out as well and we might get a second :p
You don't deserve a priority pick after you traded out senior players (Ben Brown, Tarrant, Higgins) and payed a fortune for dud free agents (Polec and Pittard).

Kayo is literally $15 a month go without 3 coffees or beers for the month lol, honestly dont understand how or why people complain about this when theres an easy alternative.
And Kayo will never go up once it's established will it :rolleyes:
Used to be that watching thousands of hated ads per year was the price a person paid for content. Now pay + ads. The future just keeps on improving!

The idea behind this makes sense, but this example is extremely poor. All 5 of the players mentioned played at the same time before we moved senior players for picks, so when we 'paid a fortune', we were still trying to cling onto a top 8 spot.
Since that time all but one of these players have been moved on for picks or cap room, that is exactly how a rebuild should be managed.
Sorry if there was sarcasm in your post and I am not hoping for an extra pick, but north aren't the ones asking for it. It is purely the media beating the drum
