Yes the whole saga is like watching a slow-mo trainwreck but it was compelling viewing tonight.

What do other posters make of his performance?

I think he lied from start to finish. He's out for the AFLPA's blood and is prepared to do anything to exact revenge and extract $.

He is still lying through his back teeth.

His story is clearly full of holes & made very little sense to most.

His attempts at humour where cringeworthy

Garry Lyon wasn't buying any of it, the Football world will be a better place with this peanut gone

He kept on defending her. Thats what I cant work out. This girl has screwed with your life and all he did was defend her tonight.

When on the 7pm project tonight and once the interview finished and she said how she lied then later tweeted I said I was joking, aves Hughes tweeted she didnt say that Rickly believed that she did. I believe Daves Hughes over her anyday and yet Ricky believes her to.

I had a chuckle when he said how he basically kept Nick R and Del santo off the pages then expected loyalty from them and was disappointed when they didnt support him. Even Sam Newman has got himself dragged into it.

It is a train wreck and unfortunately its just going to keep on in the news. Who knows what will come up in a few months.

It will be better for everyone if the media just stop reporting any of this. So a teenager lies? That's news? I am so sick of it all and I refuse to watch any show that pays this silly girl money to peddle her lies (it really doesn't matter what is the truth and what is a lie anymore - you can't believe anything she says, so who cares)?

Please please please move on to REAL news!

Just that.

A performance.

Why did they want to do this Spin cycle? Whats their angle, having a big crack at the Players assocciation, and indirectly the AFL. TV rights?

More stench than Tasmanian H/Way roadkill.

Weasel of the highest degree. Geez will it ever end, its just beyond boring now.

felt like i had two grade 3 students telling me that the other one started it, and i felt like banning them from the yard for a week for lying.

That's the key. He's defending her because he cut a deal with her. She's been paid off to recant what she said. In so doing she is supporting his upcoming legal assault on the AFLPA.

It's a desperate hairbrained plot that will get nowhere and is already falling apart at the seams, as evidenced by the girl's slip of the tongue on Hughesy's show.

I loved it when he made a joke about the type of underpants he was wearing in the pic. Stunned silence from the creeped out studio audience.

If someone wanted to sue for money, the story helps the $ pot. 50/50

I don't know if you need your tin foil hat on for this one...it's a story that gets attention and therefore TFS wanted him on.

Well said. Shows how sad society is nowadays. People want to believe it, thought it was a great story. Sad people still want to believe everything she says and that Nixon must have done something. THey don't want to know the facts but just want to kick him while he is down. I don't like him but if you get through the crap he has been so harshly treated it's not funny. It looks like he was drugged by her and set up. All he wants to do is move on, lets let him by never giving Kim Duthie airtime ever again!

I got the feeling there's more to this.

They TFS were getting into their own 60 minutes as well??? They made the players association look bad, and bring up nothing new about this tale of misery, other than spin cycles & rinses. They just peddled his wares! WHY?

That just about nails it for me!

The whole backlip on a backflip is somewhat amusing, particularly when paired with the fact that the reports on her 'admission' that she lied about having sex with Nixon have been accompanied by suggestions that she's paid six months rent up-front on a house in St Kilda and is intending to buy it. (Where's the money come from?) Also reported is the fact that, with this 'admission', Nixon may sue the AFLPA. Hrm, I wonder what the reporters are doing there...

Fair enough. I didn't see the segment so I can't comment on it.

Wait for her to screw him again now. It'll happen.

Anyway, we were better for not having this in the media cycle. If one channel/newspaper were to unanimously decide to cease reporting any of this crap I would immediately gravitate to it as a news source.

Really just two pathetic and sad human beings.

Nixon is just a grub, and the girl needs a clip around the ears.

You know the feeling when the [censored] detector's ringing it's bells off, but you can't tell why... I can smell something goin' on, but cant see it.

Beamer left well alone I think.

Nah, I get a feeling she's looking for fresh blood. Is she Sam?

Their stories are all of a sudden entwined.

Just the fact today that she's turned around to say she was lying all the time, and he's taking the 'fatherly approach', nice guy routine. She's gone back to supporting him and he's supporting her, but I believe her original story.

I got a peg on my nose here. Just watched it in NSW and sumfin stinks. I am absolutely convinced that he couldn't lie straight in bed, but she's right there spoonin with him. Two useless individuals who I'd quite happily never hear another thing from. Thank christ I don't live in Melbourne at the moment, cause it would drive me nuts.

So he states he did not sleep with her, yet later in the interview he says he has no recollection of that night whatsoever.

Sounded like a very well rehearsed story, Ricky.

Why didn't Sam ask Ricky how much he wanted to sue the AFLPA for?
