Port Adelaide key forward Charlie Dixon has not shied away from the club's expectation of winning a premiership this season.

Port coach Ken Hinkley recently made an ambitious statement that the club was shooting for a second AFL premiership this season to celebrate the club's 150th anniversary.

Dixon told SEN Breakfast on Tuesday morning that Port had adopted Hinkley's "look out, we're coming" attitude.

โ€œKenny likes doing that sort of stuff. Weโ€™ve been in that 9th-10th spot for a while now and it is a frustrating spot to be," Dixon said.

โ€œWell, why not? Why canโ€™t we?"

โ€œItโ€™s sort of now or never. Weโ€™ve got the time, weโ€™ve got the list and weโ€™ve got the players to be able to do it."

โ€œI think we are definitely a chance to do that. If you are not thinking about that, what are you even doing this for?"

โ€œThatโ€™s the goal, so why not?โ€

When asked about Port Adelaide's ability to perform in the later stages of the season and finals, Dixon positively responded: โ€œI think so. You look around the group and thereโ€™s a lot of boys who carry themselves well, and under pressure can handle a lot.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m looking forward to seeing what this year has for us.โ€

After the Power's win over Brisbane in their opening Marsh Community Series match on Sunday, assistant coach Michael Voss shared the club's expectant outlook on SEN SA's Kymbo & The Rooch.

โ€œHe probably went out and said what everyone was thinking, which is not a bad thing," Voss said.

โ€œWeโ€™ve had a really good build-up over a couple of years. We werenโ€™t able to get the consistency we were after last year and we are obviously searching for that this year."

โ€œYou can sort of feel some of that hope that you build over pre-season is well and truly converting into some belief."

โ€œBut you canโ€™t get belief without putting some wins on the board and thatโ€™s why it was a nice start to be able to win against Brisbane.โ€

Port Adelaide will look to continue their winning form against the Western Bulldogs in Whyalla on March 7 before opening their regular season against the Gold Coast Suns at Metricon Stadium on March 21.
