Ricky Nixon & the Saints - CWilson Age article

The days that led up to Nixon's collapse included the sacking last Thursday of his client Mark Williams at Port Adelaide, one of several coaches in his stable including Rodney Eade, Brett Ratten and Williams' former assistant Dean Laidley. It also included some intense work with St Kilda over the weekend and Nixon handles a large proportion of the Saints' senior line-up.

Nixon's relationship with the Saints saw him become emotional during the media frenzy over the allegations regarding two young Saints and a 16-year-old schoolgirl. Nixon was in contact with both the pregnant teenager and her school principal when the story was at its zenith and beyond, to the extent that the AFL had to intervene and and request he desist.

why does this slapper constantly attack our club with supposition and innuendo and allow the Richmond drub benders such leniency?

Seriously stuffed.

She writes like it's fact, but it still sounds like innuendo...maybe I just can't take her seriously, or maybe it's her writing style. Either way, Caro's easy to ignore.

FC is crap too...it's like a live-to-air real life Twitter.

She's a gossip-mag journo, nothing more.

Losing respect for her by the week

There really seems to be some sort of media obsession with St Kilda and trying to link us with everything scandalous in the AFL.

I agree with stinger.....wtf?

Keep your eyes focussed on the Holy Grail boys.

Maybe she talk more about Dane Beams!

Its amazing but I actually feel as though Im getting beyond the clique that is the football media.

The Hun is tabloid trash, Age has Carlotta running gossip, Australian has a complete halfwit in smith....

On TV - One Week At A Time..............has potential......but ch 10 hang on to the fool Quarterbrain who gives us no credit and raves about Horethorn EVERY minute.

Classified is garbage.....utter Gary Lyon fence sitting cr@p with Hutchy tryong to be antagonistic.

Dont have pay so cant say......but its getting harder to get some real, balanced football opinion/analysis......

Interesting read. Not to worry, Nixon will put her back in her box once he is up and about again.

Interesting to note that her articles are becoming 'speculative' pieces this year as compared to her predominantly 'factual' pieces from sources in the past. Speaks volumes if you ask me. Seems a lot of her sources no longer wish to divulge their information to her so she is forced to add 2 + 2 and is coming up with 5!

Read it twice because I couldnt see a problem with it the first time. Still couldnt the second time. Do people actually see things that arent in an article. Talk about jumping at shadows.

InkerSaint · Post: # 956433Post **InkerSaint** » Wed 14 Jul 2010 8:40am

There are three references to St Kilda - one about Nixon's work on the weekend (probably contract paperwork), one about the pregnant schoolgirl scandal, and one about the Baker MRP furore.

She uses the second reference to help paint a character portrait but I'm stuffed if I can see what the other two are for. And surely there are stronger behavioural examples to draw from in Nixon's dealings with Cousins.

Considering her last article featuring the Saints, I'm not prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Guttersnipe.

No doubt the hogwart is trying to give her doomed st.kilda story (from a couple of weeks ago) some cred with another cunningly identified new downward element, at Ricky Nixon's expense. Further evidence of the eagles-like poison that is circumventing the club.
What an old rag she is.

TazzieSaintGirl83 · Wed 14 Jul 2010 9:26am

I know the media have to make their papers sell but muck raking is so distasteful.

I am biased from the start though, I dont enjoy her writing style and have hardly ever agreed with her opinion on anything.

Caroline Wilson fail.

Yet again.

Oxygen thief.

It's the reference to the St.Kilda football club and the pregnant teenager. She fails to mention the Collingwood football club and the player who was actually responsible for the pregnancy. Blame by stealth? Maybe Nixon is feeling the heat because Cousins pissed him off as his manager. I wonder why she didn't put in the reference that maybe the Richmond football club was causing him stress? Maybe you get the drift now, maybe not hey!

Do yourself a favour Teflon, invest in foxtel and watch on the couch. Particularly James Hird. Probably the most balanced opinion on footy....period.

Absolutely. Also enjoyed the 2 new shows that aired last week on Fox. Don't watch any football shows on FTA.

ozrulestrace · Wed 14 Jul 2010 1:06pm

I couldn't understand what she was gabbing on about the first two times I read the article.

However, mayb she was talking about the htree players who were
re-signed last week and he could have all been their manager and might have been referring to the contract negoiations.

Who knows as the article was badly written.

Can't have been too scandalous as the Saints weren't mention until half way through "Footy Classified"

I did just have a vision of a baby born with a sleeve tattoo... Distasteful, yes. But amusing nevertheless.

On The Couch is pretty much the only one left of any value, which is pretty disappointing considering the number of AFL analysis shows there are on air.

Of course, White Line Fever was in a league of its own.

And the man with hate and anger in nearly every comment continues to be consistent. Constantly angry.

By the way how is Travis Clokes uncle, Peter Carey going. At least you have proved you are a liar so I would suggest that also goes for what you claim your profession is. Some had you pegged early but now it seems we all have you pegged. Claiming you know the Cloke family and then get the uncle's name wrong. Hilarious.
