Dixon had an interrupted start to the season due to injury but has managed to play consistent footy for Peel Thunder in the past month, as they prepare to make a tilt for finals.

The 18-year-old says living with leadership group member and fellow Tasmanian, Alex Pearce has helped him with the frustration of being injured.

“Alex is a great role model to learn off,” Dixon said.

“Some of the stuff that he’s gone through throughout his football career and how resilient he’s been is absolutely outstanding.

“I had a lot of conversations with him while I was injured, more about where my headspace is at and that I was frustrated, and he could empathise with that.

“He was very helpful, I’ve got a lot of respect for Alex.”
