COLLINGWOOD VS MELBOURNE.

I went to the footy today (Collingwood vs Melbourne) and I was all like, "Yeah, Collingwood will win for sure" etc etc.
Ummm, no. It wasn't that easy. Melbourne came out firing. They played so well (although the scoreboard didn't really show it). If you looked at the scoreboard, it was an even match. If you looked at the ground with the players, Melbourne was OWNING. (Melbourne missed a lot of easy shots, but then again, so did Collingwood).

The guy in the picture below (number 15) was part of the aforementioned owning. Ricky Petterd. Kicked about 4 goals. Was basically everywhere. (Or just in their forward 50, idk).


Anyway, Collingwood still managed to win.
The guy below played well, got the ball a lot, etc etc. But he was mainly under pressure A LOT OF THE TIME. So, he turned it over so much.
I don't know why there's a bandage around his head. I know Travis Cloke had a bandage around his head (because of blood) but I never saw my bf have to leave the game because of blood.



And Rusty did a good manoeuvre on the boundary line. Basically, Rusty had two Melbourne players on him, and Rusty had the ball, then kicked it a metre ahead of him (to keep the ball in play) and then, Rusty just picked up the ball and kept playing! The Melbourne players didn't even touch the ball when Rusty didn't have it. lol.

Oh and after the game, we were on the train. And this guy was sitting in our carriage, with his earphones in, talking to his friend in Newcastle. And the guy was talking SO LOUDLY and describing every aspect of the Collingwood/Melbourne match REALLY LOUDLY and the whole carriage could hear. And we were all laughing yet the guy had no idea that people were listening. And when the conversation FINALLY ended, the whole carriage cheered and goes, "Yay, he's finished!" And the guy STILL had no idea, because he had earphones in. It was so funny. :D.

Ah, good times. ;).

It was exciting, but also really scary. Mainly because Collingwood were playing so badly, and Melbourne looked like they would win.

lol.
