Mentioned as the pillar of Gold Coast SUNS future forward line, Dixon started with a bang by scoring the GC SUNS first goal against Carlton in their opening match.
After some early promise, Dixon struggled for consistency in the second half of the season.
Big and strong, the Cairns product has a great work ethic and, along with Sam Day and Tom Lynch, forms the nucleus of an exciting forward set-up.
A promising junior regional basketballer who turned to football relatively late, his rare ‘big man’ athleticism caught the eye of football scouts a few years ago after a series of dominant performances for Cairns Saints.
Dixon was a standout at under 18 level for Queensland at the National Championships in 2009.
A natural on and off-field leader with a big heart and a bustling and aggressive approach to the game, big things are expected of him in 2011.
Draft history: 2010 local talent access selection (Gold Coast).
