Hugh Dixon is one of a large number of new faces at the West Coast Eagles this year, decimated as they have been by injury and COVID absences. Dixon was brought in specifically to cover for the loss of Jack Darling and, while Darling has belatedly got the vaccine jab and resumed training, a somewhat predictable injury has the CHF out for another month. Dixon played one solitary senior game at his lengthy time at the Dockers so it is rather unfair to expect him to carry the attack, but he also carries a lot of hopes of fantasy coaches looking for a cash cow.
