It appears that there may be another chapter to one of the biggest scandals to have ever rocked the AFL.
Kim Duthie has succeeded in her bid to delay the release of former player manager Ricky Nixon’s tell-all book.
My Side, a “warts and all account” of Nixon’s life, was due to be launched tomorrow, but a Supreme Court injunction has banned Mr Nixon from publishing the book online or in print.
The injunction has been made for seven days, but what happens after that time remains unclear.
“Bring it on bring it ON thanks for the publicity,” Mr Nixon said on Twitter.
Ms Duthie, 22, successfully argued that the book contained lies about her and would defame her.
The court was told that a significant portion of the book was dedicated to Ms Duthie, who was dubbed the St Kilda Schoolgirl.
Ms Duthie made headlines in 2011 after releasing nude photos of St Kilda footballers, and claiming to have a relationship with Nixon.
