No I heard Roo at the media conference say he didn't know about it until yesterday. I'm sure I heard it correctly, unless he said something different later.
No SEN, he definitely said he was aware of it for a few weeks.
He repeated it a couple of times, if my memory is correct.
I stand corrected. I heard the yesterday bit not the weeks bit.
Me too, my bad.
"Facebook teen vows to publish more AFL nude pics

The teenager who posted explicit photographs of St Kilda players on Facebook has vowed to publish more images of AFL players today despite a court order.
The 17-year-old said she had not received legal notification preventing her from posting the pictures.
‘‘I’ll continue to post the photographs at 5pm today on Facebook or Twitter,’’ she said.

The girl said the photos were not stolen and told The Age she had met St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt on several occasions despite his denials.
St Kilda was rocked yesterday when the girl published explicit photographs of Riewoldt and fellow Saint Nick Dal Santo on her Facebook account.
Saints captain Nick Riewoldt today said he had "no association" with the teen and expressed his shock and disappointment over the image, which he says was taken by teammate Sam Gilbert on a trip to Miami 12 months ago.

The photograph shows Riewoldt posing naked next to teammate Zac Dawson who is wearing jeans and is holding out what appears to be a condom packet.
According to the teenage girl, the footballers at the centre of a nude photo scandal posed for the explicit pictures and had been worried for months that they would be made public.
But Riewoldt savaged the girl's claims today, saying he had never met the teenager and suggestions that he had posed nude for her were "absolute garbage".

‘‘To infer that I would stand there and pose for a photograph naked knowing that it was going to be kept is just absolute garbage and offensive,’’ he said.
Riewoldt, who addressed the media at 9.15am, said he was "bitterly disappointed" that Gilbert did not delete the image from his computer, but there was no fracture in his professional relationship with the Queenslander, and he would continue to work with Gilbert at St Kilda.
He said the photograph was taken after he got out of bed, and he asked Gilbert to delete the photograph immediately.
Nick Dal Santo was the second Saints player pictured in a naked photograph published on Facebook yesterday.

‘‘I was on holiday in Miami and I sleep with my clothes off like most people do I would assume, and got out of bed and the photo was taken,’’ Riewoldt said.
‘‘I was aware of it being taken at the time and asked for the photo to be deleted and I assumed that it had been deleted.’’
Riewoldt, who said he was not affected by alcohol at the time, said he was unaware that the photo still existed until a few weeks ago, and he had not seen it until yesterday.
"I assumed it had been deleted," Riewoldt said, alleging the photograph had been obtained illegally.
"I don't know why someone I don't know would want to denigrate me like this."
The image, along with another naked photograph of Riewoldt's teammate Nick Dal Santo, was circulated on social media sites yesterday.
Previously, the teenager responsible for posting the images had attempted to sell the images to media outlets.
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon said the club was determined "not to be a victim" to the situation.
The teenager, who The Age has opted not to name, was the subject of an AFL investigation this year when she said she fell pregnant to a separate St Kilda player when she was a schoolgirl.
Last night, a Federal Court judge ordered that the teenager and Facebook remove the images, as St Kilda CEO Michael Nettlefold said the club believed the images were removed from a player's laptop illegally.
However the teenager told ABC radio this morning that she took the photographs at a Melbourne home and a hotel.
She said the players "didn't exactly say yes" to having the photographs taken.
"I said 'I'm taking a photo' and they posed for it and they didn't tell me to delete it afterwards so if you call that permission then, yeah," she told ABC radio, adding that she was fully clothed at the time.
Yesterday the girl told The Age that the players had told her to take the photos, and had then asked her to delete them.
She said she had not attempted to sell the photographs, but had shown them to several media outlets recently.
"I just wanted to get back at them basically because just the way I was treated from the AFL, it just wasn't right. I don't know, it's sort of a complicated situation," she said.
"I haven't really been in contact with any AFL players since probably August.
"They knew that I had them [the photographs] because I've had them since April and they've sort of been a bit worried, especially the AFL manager."
Asked if she was intending to release more, she said: "Yeah definitely, once I make a new Facebook page ...Who's going to stop me?"
She said she was staying in Queensland with her parents, who were not talking to her.
"I've got a lawyer and I'm having a meeting with a hopefully new manager today,"
