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.

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:

Ricky Nixon

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.

More blogs to come ... stay flogged.
