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.

here here! stupid internet allowing dumb young girls to fabricate things. She is a liar. She has been caught multiple times. How sad is it that a well respected member of the community is forced to leave the country based on unfounded allegations that even if found to be true are only morally wrong and in no way illegal. The guy has been accused, tried and convicted by the media on the back of video shot by a known liar with strong motive to lie. Shame shame shame.
