The exodus at Port Adelaide has continued, with veteran forward Charlie Dixon announcing his retirement just a day after Trent McKenzie hung up his boots. Dixon played his 221st and last AFL game last week, kicking a goal from 12 disposals in Port’s 36-point preliminary final loss to Sydney. Tune in to Seven and 7plus on Saturday to watch the AFL grand final live and free. The 34-year-old struggled for consistency and fitness this year, booting just 24 majors across 18 games.

“While there have been a lot of challenges along the way, I feel really grateful to both Port Adelaide and the Gold Coast for the opportunities those clubs have provided and the friendships I’ve made along the way. “It’ll be hard not coming through those doors and seeing some of my best mates every day but I’m looking forward to what comes next.” McKenzie, known for his booming kick, retired after 165 games - 106 of which were at Gold Coast.
