I've never liked this guy's attitude.

It seems a little irresponsible to drive into a tram when over .05 then vamoose!

Which Melb players does he manage?

    Yes i Heard this Newsie this Morning. As a man in the spotlight so to speak, he must have known that running would get him into "much deeper poo"

    Nixon was very High & Mighty during a lot of the Ben Cousins Fiasco I wonder whether he will be so accomdating now the Tide has Turned.

    "Tool of the Week" Ricky Nixon.....

    Sounds like the same advice he gave to Benny when he realised he couldn't get past the booze bus & would have to swim for it...

    Saw the Picture of Nixon's Car in the "Hun" this Morning. Looks to me like he didn't hit the brakes at all. He is in Big Trouble i believe. Save the stiff Drinkies until you get Home to your Kew Mansion Ricky, Naughty Naughty...

    He could rightfully manage Graham Polak.

    Nice one from the 3-point line...swish...apologies for using basketball terminology in a footy forum.

    His willingness to negotiate contracts with the clubs through the media, he comes across as a weasel.

    With Nixon, this incident will create a perfect example of "What goes around, comes around". He has given his detractors ample fodder to dine out on.

    The sad thing is this is just another example of the malignant culture of alcohol and sport. Given the ruin alcohol and drugs has caused and is causing in AF, RL and other sports there is a real need to eliminate the strong cultural connection between sports players and alcohol. The fall from grace is severe and played out in front of a hungry public media jury. You would think there were enough sad examples of that. Clearly not.

    There is no excuse for Nixon's rank stupidity at 45yo. He is part of the malignant culture within football codes.

    Nixon is a show pony in a limited industry. Consider that most professional sports in Australia up until the 90s weren't big enough to be full-time jobs for most of the players, and most didn't need a manager. Just as the league started to grow and become more professional, he came in just at the right time and became Australia's first big sports agent. We won't see many more like him. I wouldn't want him as my agent and I know several AFL footballs who I went to HS with who have distanced themselves from his agency and him purely because of his show pony ways.

    Cameron Bruce, Colin Garland, Stefan Martin, Matthew Whelan and Austin Wonaeamirri.

    Now is the time to strike and sign Colin Garland for 10 years on his current salary ;):lol:

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
