Ricky Nixon joins the Conga line

Re: Ricky Nixon joins the Conga line

He could tip a massive bucket on the AFL and they know it.

Yep, and this is where we start a massive merry go round. Years of sweeping scandals under the rug could really come back to bite the AFL here.

Nixon strikes me as the who is completely besotted by self-interst so if there is any benefit to himself in exposing people, I'd say he would.

Players' association also failed

Nick Holland - The Age - 26 February

RICKY Nixon dropped the ball through his "inappropriate dealings" with the teenage girl at the centre of the St Kilda nude photo scandal. The AFL Players' Association is now in the spotlight for fumbling the ball by not suspending Nixon pending the outcome of the investigation. While the actions of Nixon were inexcusable, the inaction of the AFLPA board is extraordinary!

As a player manager Nixon has the highest obligation to the players that he manages. Managing young athletes is not just about obtaining the most lucrative contract for them but also about taking on the responsibility for the professional and personal welfare of the players they manage.

Stepping back from Ricky Nixon

Caroline Wilson, March 3, 2011

FORMER Western Bulldog Rohan Smith has written to more than 200 parents of young footballers in a bid to distance his development program V Squad from Ricky Nixon.

Smith, who took exception to an article in The Age linking Nixon's Flying Start management group to V Squad, wrote to the parents to assure them ''as the parent of a teenage boy and girl'' that V Squad was separate to Flying Start.

Immature lying bi*ch was on 60 minutes tonight. I say this because she said the twin pregnancy (to Sam Gilbert) was fake? Sooooooooooo over her and this whole saga. Next controversy please!

She came across as someone who is still really just a child, what were these men thinking.

That's the key, IMO. Those blokes are lowlifes. And dumb ones, at that.

I can't believe anyone ever thought she was.

She's a footy groupie looking for fame, the players lost interest in her and she made up the story to get some publicity. Fortunately for her in the modern media everyone was all too willing to believe a negative story about AFL footballers.

Easy to say in hindsight, mate. You talk as if the players are angels when the truth is somewhere in the middle. Those with insights into the inner workings of the St. Kilda FC will tell you that their culture is ****ed - KD being a liar doesn't change this.

I said from the moment the story broke that the pregnancy was bullshit. They used their fame to shag a dumb young girl, she was using their fame to try and get famous herself, equal blame there. Everything else since then has been carefully orchestrated lies from a budding young psychopath.

Re: Ricky Nixon joins the Conga line

Quite a bit was left out of the story on 60 minutes....they jumped straight from her lying she was pregnant - to her posting photos of the players.

They didn't include her saying she'd lost the child, then saying she had lost one of twins, and then saying she'd lost both. And somewhere in there (round 21 I think) last year she turned up to the hotel the players were staying at in Adelaide and made a scene in the hotel foyer.

To be fair Riewoldt certainly helped make that scene in the hotel foyer (despite Riewoldt later admitting he's never met her, there's more than one liar here).

No-one's claimed she's an angel, and certainly there's been plenty of lies from her, but her motivation all along was to get back at the powerful people who she believes did the wrong thing to her. The lies were just one part of her achieving her ultimate ojective.

Just explain to me all the wrongs she's had done to her? Basically she's lied to an AFL footballer about her age, they've slept together a few times, he's found out she's lying and he told her he doesn't want to see her again. Everything since then has been lies and revenge on her part because a guy told a girl her he doesn't want to see her again.

Does an AFL player who sleeps with a girl no longer have the right to walk away just because he's an AFL footballer? Once he's slept with her should he be responsible for her well being for the rest of her natural life?

What you are overlooking is that she was a 16 year old, seemingly very immature and felt as if she had been used and then disregarded by people that were probably her idols. We will never really know how she was treated but her perception was that she was wronged and she obviously lacked the skills to deal with this rationally. The other party needs to assume some responsibility, which they did not, and that's how this whole mess started.

What do they say about women scorned? Seems you can multiply the effect when the are adolescents.

I'm not overlooking that at all, it's the one and only reason any of this has gained any traction at all. You only need to see her interviewed or her YouTube videos to realise how unreliable her testimony is, but in this day and age where saying NO to a teenager is akin to international war crimes, people were happy to accept every claim as gospel.

Well god help us in the future where women scorned also now have a consequence free environment to operate in so long as they squeeze it all in before they hit their 18th birthday.
