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:

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
