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.

edit: Should be - 6 points. :lol:

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.

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.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
