Went to U2 last night and three rows behind me were Neitz, Nicho, Brock, Biz, Rivers and Robbo. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Probably the most enjoyable time they've had at Telstra Dome this year!

All seemed to be enjoying the show - clapping, saw Neita singing etc. None were drinking which was good to see I guess.

    Interesting that Brock and Rivers seem to spend more time hanging out with the older blokes like Neitz and Robbo rather than with the "younger" crowd. Wonder why that is.

    Its because they're very mature for their age. :)

    It's because they are too good to be hanging out with average footballers ;)

    Seriously though, I don't think you're right. I've seen Brock hanging around some of the younger crowd that live in my area.

    I saw Matthew Richardson at Borders, buying The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss.

    I guess it was a birthday gift for someone. ^_^

    I saw our president in the Birdcage on Oaks Day - I'd had a couple by then so said "Love your work Paul" and he said thank-you and kept walking.

    I saw Carroll out after the Adelaide loss last year (the one we were meant to win over there when they had half their side out). In retrospect maybe I shouldn't have approached him and just let him cool off, but it wasn't like I was rude or anything, just said bad luck on the loss, was a real shame blah blah blha. Well, he did not want a bar of me, nor did the bevie of chicks that were hanging off him. Ah well.

    Thought I should let you all know about my meeting with the captain.

    I was attending a regular pub trivia competition. One of my mates, knowing that I was a big dees fan, told me to look behind me and take a look, hinting that it was someone pretty special. Naturally, I was pretty excited to see that it was big Neita. My word he's a massive bloke!

    I kept a lid on it, and although I really wanted to go up and have a chat to him, I thought it would be the decent thing to let him just have dinner and enjoy the company of those with him. Also, I would've naturally copped it from my mates, so it was decided that I would just be content being in his presence.

    However, to my amazement, an older guy I know through school turned up, and went over to Neita's table and started talking to him! This was good news, as it gave me a segway to go up and talk to my friend, and then get him to introduce me to Neita. So, with some courage built up, I went over and said hi to my mate, and chatted for a few minutes. Unfortunately, the introduction never came, so I trundled back to my friends, defeated.

    Thankfully, one of my friends went up to the guy I knew, introduced himself, and suggested that perhaps I would like to be introduced to David, as I was a big fan and had been wanting to all night. So awkwardly, I was called over, and I was pretty nervous/embarassed. There was no need to be, as Neita was fantastic. I asked him how his knee was going, how they were dealing with all the injuries, and just a few questions about the boys. He told me he was up and running again, and that many of the boys were on the mend and hoping to atone for the poor start to the year. He even asked me about how often we came to trivia, how long I had supported the Dees for, and whether I'd been to many games this year. He was awesome. What a great guy! This really made my night.

    Another one of my mates ran into Jared Rivers more recently and said he was a top bloke too.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
