RICKY NIXON

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,780]

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.....

[Jarka 767]

Bloody idiot

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

He could rightfully manage Graham Polak.

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...

[Sir Why You Little 37,008]

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...

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

edit: Should be - 6 points.

Why does everyone seem to hate Ricky Nixon? apart from the tram thing.

Why does everyone seem to hate Ricky Nixon? apart from the tram thing.

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.

agreed,if u drink drive you should go to jail,it could be nearly classed as a hit n run.

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.

Not the first time he's been in trouble. Caulfield Cup one year he was arrested for being [censored].

Which Melb players does he manage?

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

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

You drive a hard bargain.

Better swing 5 more years for Martin whilst you're at it
