And so the saga continues. Nixhead is splashed across the papers in his jocks, and more and more of us just want to hurl at the very sight of him. Everybody is quick to jump down his throat and label him as a disgusting pig (which, quite frankly, he is) but I'm amazed at how many people are defending his skanky little sidekick.
Yes, she's only 17. Yes, she clearly has mental problems. And yes, she has been subject to pressure. But, what kind of pressure is this girl really under? I say it's purely the pressure to keep herself in the headlines, and destroy everyone in the AFL world. Numerous times I have listened to her bang on about how she was "pretty drunk" and how she "just wanted revenge". But since she can't seem to stay away from social media such as Twitter, we start to see the twists in her stories. On Valentine's Day, (conveniently after Nixhead had stayed the night), she tweeted that she "loves her man soooo much", yet when quizzed about it by Kate Langbrook on Nova 100 on Monday, she seemed embarrassed and said "well.. I do... but I was pretty drunk when I wrote that". Excuse me?
She also used the line "you're not inviting them up for a cup of Milo", when speaking about Nixhead coming to her hotel room, however, she placed the call to Nixhead, asking him to come over in the first place. He claimed she was distressed, and my personal belief is that it was all an act in order to get him there for her "revenge". I couldn't believe what I was hearing when Nova 100's Langbrook repeatedly told the St Kilda Skank she was a "hero". Who congratulates a teenager for keeping her legs open like a 7/11? And furthermore, as a football fan, who wants to see the AFL in such a state, all because some stupid little girl is hungry for attention?
Some of my colleagues have suggested she has been taken advantage of, and that she is just a child. But my argument is that she's 17, she knows what sex is (clearly!) and she knew exactly what she was doing from the beginning. She took her clothes off, she didn't stop them. She initially lied about her age upon meeting the players (even if they were pretty stupid to notice she doesn't look 30), and she had no qualms going to the media when her relationship with Gilbert broke off. She has manipulated the media, and raped the AFL of its credibility. Nixhead hasn't given us much to be proud of either.
We all know the stock-standard cliche of a "footy player" is that they are "dirty", "sleazy", "cheaters" and so on. What people don't realise is, when you categorise an individual, often others suffer the repercussions, and get put into that category also. I'm blonde and curvy, so it's assumed I'm either a bimbo or a slut - cliche's can be so wrong.
Working in the sports industry, I have seen and heard things that completely back up
the footy players cliche, however, I know plenty of sporting icons who don't deserve to be in that category. Collingwood's Dale Thomas made a valid point in the papers recently, claiming that it will soon come down to players not even going out, for fear of a story or a fabrication of the truth being splashed across the front pages the next day.
You also have to wonder how it comes about that 3 players that are managed by Nixhead are also involved with the same girl. What do they cover in their business meetings? I imagine it would play out (fictionally) like this:
[players and Nixhead sitting around an outdoor table at a cafe]
Nixhead: "so, how did we all fare on the drug tests this week? all good I hope?" Players: "all clear, we don't have any of the coke you gave us left" Nixhead: "oh, sorry, I must have used it all on that bird I've been seeing. You know, the one you dated" [a woman walks by wearing a skirt and heels]
Nixhead: "whoa! check out those cans boys! Hey BABY! Wanna come back to our hotel? We'll pay for it! Ok boys. Your turn!"
Ok so maybe it doesn't happen that way, maybe it does. We don't know. All we know is that it's just a tad coincidental, and we have to question the morals that he seems to be passing onto his players. I'm sure there are plenty of us out there that are just hanging for this story to end, so we can talk about some really great stuff ... like, FOOTBALL.
Stay tuned & keep flogging! And may our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the Christchurch Earthquake.

Enter: The Flog ... Footy Blog - All things AFL
1. Flog
A brilliant multi-purpose word:
1. (verb) to sell something. Generally the price is low or the goods are dodgy.
2. (verb) to lose a sporting match, usually football, by a huge margin
3. (verb) to masturbate. Sometimes extended to "flog the dog" or "flog the log".
4. (verb) to steal something
5. (verb) to assault somebody
6. (noun) a poser, someone who likes to big-note themselves. Relates back to (3).
1. I flogged my piece of shit car to some uni student.
2. We got flogged by 15 goals today.
3. I caught my little brother having a flog today.
4. Some arsehole's flogged my ciggies!
5. I took this smart-arse out the back of the pub and gave him a flogging.
6. Look at that wanker in the Porsche talking on his car phone. What a flog.
[www.urbandictionary.com.au]
Ok so, you're probably thinking "not another media-messing pre-pubescent teen out to cause a ruckus" but I assure you - I am not out to cause a ruckus, nor am I pubescent (thank God). I am just one girl. With a computer. And a Twitter account. And a Facebook. And an iPhone. Hmmm. Maybe I can cause some trouble? I don't think so! These are merely my thoughts, put down into rants, and do not reflect anyone else's opinions but my own.
My passionate love of AFL led me to follow my team with fierce admiration on and off the field, and work in the sports industry. I am inspired to blog not only because I aspire to a career in Sports Journalism, but because the game that we once knew has been thrown into the deep end. And the water sure has got murky.
Rape, alcoholism, drug use, underage girl(s), naked conspiracies. This sure isn't the game I signed up to support 25 years ago. Reputations have been ruined, clubs are in disarray, players have been named and shamed, women have lost partners and the game has been violently damaged. I mean honestly, who wants to picture Ricky Nixon with a 17-year-old mid-conquest? We've all seen the pictures of those 3 un-Saintly boys sans clothing, wasn't that enough? The AFL needs to do something. And fast.
And so it is here I must introduce my "Flog Of The Week" award. Each week the award for the biggest douchebag in the AFL will be named and shamed right here, and whether you agree with it or not, I want to know! Our first FOTW, and clear winner by miles is:
Fighting to save his career fresh off the St Kilda Schoolgirl Scandal (of which 3 of his own managed Saints have been involved in), Nixon is denying any sexual contact with the girl who is adamant they have been going at it like rabbits "two to three times a week", in the hotel that St Kilda Football Club have been paying for. Not only has he admitted to "inappropriate dealings" and buying her alcohol, he has claimed to be a victim of "helping" her in her times of distress (ie. Valentine's Day). Yeah, ok, being single on Valentines Day can sometime suck, but hey, it doesn't exactly possess you to shag a man 30 years your senior... does it?
Nixon is petrified of supposed "tapes" being released of himself with the girl, in which she admits was a plot to strike revenge on a man she is slowly dismantling. But like the speculation says, if he was innocent, why is he so worried about the release of the tapes? We all know her stories are to be taken with a grain of salt, due to the fact that she lied about most details from day dot of the St Kilda Schoolgirl Scandal, however, you have to wonder what this Nixhead was doing at her hotel room at all hours of the night. Like she said "it wasn't for a cup of Milo". I don't know who to feel more sorry for here.. Nixhead, The St Kilda Skank or Nixhead's poor kids. Imagine taking that scandal to show and tell.
I can only hope someone comes across the St Kilda Skank and her pensioner friend in the street, slaps her with a fish, and kicks him smartly in the shins. It is a sad day in the game of AFL when their seniors can't keep it in their pants and their business is being torn apart by a little girl with a big psychological problem.
Either way, Ricky Nixon is Flog Of The Week.
