IMHO Nick is gone as captain. He has lost too much credibility.The club will have to work really hard now to find a new sponsor.
How can our club keep on having this sort of thing happen.
FFS!
The guy has given us 10 years of brilliant, loyal service.
Let him explain himself before you hang him
Agree. Very much doubt it will cost him the captaincy, unless that's his choice. Let's hear what he's got to say first. It's not like he posted photos of himself.
Surprised to hear so many of our own calling for this already...but then again, shouldn't really be surprised...tide has been turning against him....even from our own since the GF.

I thought he was a higher level of human being.
Ahh well.
My thoughts exactly.
Something just doesn't look right about all this. That's why I'd like to hear from those involved before bagging anyone.
I'm sorry but were we all deluding ourselves that Nick Riewoldt is a perfect human being? Come on - he's 27 years old. Old enough to know better I know (which is why he would be seriously embarassed) but it's not as if it's a photo of him picking up a street whore or being with an underaged girl. I have heard enough stories to form the opinion that he certainly isn't perfect, but he certainly sounds like a good bloke.
Blokes at footy clubs do some stupid things, possibly even things that are out of character. I sometimes look back with embarrassment at my own carry on when I was on footy trips or out with the boys. Nothing illegal but just basic carry on that most would find very immature. I know I know Riewoldt and co are highly paid footballers and also public figures. But no laws have been broken. Nothing immoral even has occurred. It's just basic, childish, blokey stupid behaviour. Nothing more nothing less. No-one would be more embarrassed than him over this I would imagine.
It's dumb. But if this is the dumbest thing they do in their lives, then they're going okay.

Well said! This is exactly how I feel!

Yes, but the problem I am seeing now is that the pictures are uploaded onto public photo sites similar to imageshack. And other people are just posting the links. The attention whore who started this is just standing on the curb giggling whilst others post the links.
No court can control the photos now, and I doubt they can empower overseas servers that have the photos readily on display like Imgur.
You'd reckon they's committed a crime the way some of the peanuts on here are carrying on.
The only BAD I can see is the behaviour of some trumped up tunnel c**t who represents everything grotesque about the age in which we live.
Privacy is no longer a right. Sad as.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Someone tell me what he has done wrong???????
Brand, image....
This is bigger than Nick, and a silly photo.
Come off it!!! Seriously, you think so over a a photo of someone naked? We are in serious trouble then if your reasoning is to be believed as there are *apparently* still 19 other photos. Seems we may not have a captain next year if we were to follow your logic.
