Whilst a change is probably needed I don’t think they are that far off it and the players are still playing for him

You are a strange little person, your Port obsession is rather odd.

Dixon opened up about his struggles and UK makes fun of it. I can't think of anyone who would be less respected on this site in all it's time.

Fair point you make there Booney, I had another read and it clicked.

Making fun of a person's mental health is very poor and probably even a lower standard for UK fan.

Maybe he could go back to being Daisy, at least he was interesting or maybe he just needs a kick in the ass. Who knows but I think you are correct Booney, this little person in is a clear piece of shit.

You pieces of shit can Keep your heads in the sand . I’m in no way bagging Dixon I am refuting the claim all are behind Ken. With Dixon you’d assume up until two weeks ago he has always been happy at Port.

Did Anyone know Dixon cried in his car before training everyday for 2years?? It makes u think How many other Dixon types are there ?? If you want to guess zero and everyone is behind Ken I’m hearing different that’s all.

As pointed out Amon clearly wants out. Schofield couldn’t get away quick enough.

Im hearing a Big off-season coming up at alberton

PORT ADELAIDE forward Steven Motlop has announced his retirement, effective immediately, after 217 AFL games.

Motlop, 31, arrived at Alberton through free agency at the end of 2017, adding 82 AFL games and 54 goals to the 135 games and 175 goals he recorded in nine seasons at Geelong.

Across his 14 seasons at the highest level, the Northern Territory product became renowned for his cleanness in possession, his craftiness around goal and his ability to provide moments of brilliance to spark his side.

Port Adelaide people will fondly remember Motlop for his two goals on debut against Fremantle, his match-winning goal late in his first Showdown in May 2018, and for countless classy on-field contributions since.

Motlop told his teammates of his decision on Tuesday morning.

“14 years is a long time in the game, especially in the position I play,” he said of his decision.

“It was always a childhood dream to play in the AFL and I’ll always be grateful to Geelong and to Port Adelaide for giving me the opportunity to achieve that dream.

“As a kid you just want to play in finals. I played in five preliminary finals and while it would have been nice to have won one, playing in those big games alongside my teammates is something I’ll always look back on fondly.

“There’s been a rich history of my family playing at Port Adelaide and to be able to get the opportunity come over to Adelaide, where my family was set up was a big part of why I moved across and it means a lot to say I had the chance to play at the club where I have such strong family links.”

He thanked his coaches and teammates over his journey and reserved special praise for his partner Kelly and his parents.

Port Adelaide senior coach Ken Hinkley was Motlop’s line coach when he first arrived at Geelong in 2009 and said beyond his skills, speed and work rate, he had always been a good teammate.

“I was with Steven at the start of his AFL journey and also now at the end,” Hinkley said.

“He has left us with some extremely fond memories with some telling contributions in key moments but often with Steven his work might have gone unnoticed by many. What I can say is that he has always been a really good teammate and has always done good things for us at Port Adelaide.

“The Motlop name is a strong one at our club. It feels like Steven has been here forever. He has made himself part of the Port Adelaide family, and he always will be.”

Motlop averaged 16.8 disposals and more than one goal per game across his career.

He joined Geelong with pick 39 in the 2008 National Draft and was nominated as an AFL Rising Star in 2012 and part of the All-Australian squad in 2013. Motlop was twice named as part of the AFLPA’s 22under22 team (in 2012 and 2013) and represented Australia in International Rules in 2013.

In 2015, he finished runner-up to Mark Blicavs as Geelong’s best and fairest.

Motlop has strong family links to Port Adelaide. His brother Daniel played for six seasons with the Power between 2006-2011 and his cousin Marlon also represented the club between 2008-2011.

At the end of the day I guess "low" is still a standard, but Geez, even I'm disappointed in what I've read on here this morning. Just a next level WOW!!

He was crying in his car because he didn't want to play for Port or crying in his car because he was suffering from mental health issues which he's talked about?

He should have retired at the start of the year and they'd be playing finals.

To be fair he retired years ago but had the best seat in the house to watch the game.

The little guy was happy to bad mouth the departed Von Williams so no surprise he's happy to have a crack at Dixon via a keyboard, I'm sure he'd say the same to Charlie's face. Courageous as he is.

Can't think of too many more frustrating players than this bloke. Amazing talent who could do anything but would butcher goals or go AWOL at the worst possible moment. I'm not sure Port or Geelong will look back and think they got the best out of him.

I guess so. Easy from the cheap seats to suggest he wasn't doing otherwise. You'd see a glimpse of that talent and that was the frustration.

217 games across 13 seasons, in the cut throat professional world of AFL football you don't get there if you didn't give it your all regardless of your talent. IMO.
