AFL: Although Lance Franklin is not opposed to power, there is no shortage of skills when Port Adelaide, ahead of Charlie Dixon, presented his most productive impression of Buddy.

Footy Show host Kane Cornes has set his rival Mark Ricciuto on fire in a car for the so-called “ridiculous rumors” surrounding Charlie Dixon’s gun in Port Adelaide.
Cornes said Sunday that his former club, Port Adelaide, “got dirty” personally after Ricciuto made public statements that Dixon was tempted to leave the club.
At his triple radio show M Adelaide on Monday, Ricciuto warned that Dixon was sued through the Brisbane Lions, who said they presented the star with a four-year contract.

Dixon ignored questions about his ties to Lions this week, refusing to answer questions about his future.
However, Cornes reported Sunday that Dixon had told Power that he intended to agree to the terms of a contract extension in a deal in which Cornes would be announced through Port Adelaide within the next two weeks.
In revealing Dixon’s possible new contract with Port Adelaide, Cornes also put his boot on his spouse Ricciuto.

Horns continued to recommend that Ricciuto, now adelaide Crows’ football director, make his claims public.
“It’s great to see Charlie Dixon fit in. And it was a wonderful opportunity to rediscover the shape it had in the first part of the season,” Cornes told channel 9’s Sunday Footy Show.
I feel like it’s been thwarted in the last few weeks, the statement is that he’s re-signed with the club and that this will be announced in the next fortnight, despite ridiculous rumours from Adelaide adviser Mark Ricciuto that he will sign a four-year contract in Brisbane.
“He’s going to Port Adelaide and yesterday he played as a pretty satisfied footballer.”
Host Tony Johns then stepped in and said, “A little further.”

Cornes denied it.
“And rightly so, you have a manager of a rival football club that spreads rumors and innuendos that Charlie Dixon is going to make a signal in Brisbane, then a week later (the coach of Port Adelaide), Ken Hinkley goes out and says he has re-engaged in the club… This is not yet Roo’s most productive moment, I would have thought.
He said of Port Adelaide: ‘Behind the scenes, they’re dirty, they haven’t said anything publicly, but they’re not satisfied behind the scenes.’
Essendon legend Matthew Lloyd supported Cornes’ sweep.
“I’m with Kane, making rumors when a football director isn’t the most productive thing.”
Cornes attacked Ricciuto on Monday.
“But for the club where he’s worried about being the worst club in 50 years at the AFL, I’d have no idea they’d have enough worries,” he said at Footy Classified.
“To say that a smart player is rarely highly registered as Charlie Dixon, well, Brad Crouch is rarely highly registered either.He is the current winner of the most productive and fair of the Crows.
So if he had any recommendations for ‘Roo’, he’d be afraid his club would get out of trouble at 0-13.And don’t worry about the rumors that’ve been circulating since you made them this morning.
