FOOTY.

Faz and his epic boots are cooler than all of you.
Deal with it.
:P

Anyway, Collingwood managed to beat the Lions last night. Yay!

Clokey kicked 5 goals, and is now EIGHT GOALS away from Buddy on le Coleman medal thingy.
I hope Buddy falls off a cliff and breaks both his legs I mean, what? I love Buddy, of course I do. I'd never wish such a cruel thing on poor little Buddy...

Oh and Mick Malthouse gave S.Bucks a spray at Quarter Time.
Either Simon Buckley scratched his key on Mick's car, or... idk, whatever.

My point is, I don't think Mick will be coaching the Demons next year. I mean, I'm sure he has nothing against the Demons and everything, but after having to put up with one Demon player for a year, Mick wouldn't want to put up with 40 of them. I mean, that's a bit risky for his car...

I still love S.Bucks, though. He's so cute, and always tries hard. :D
And Ben Sinclair played so well yesterday!
Same with Tom Young. He kicked two goals, one of them being a torp. And they doused him in red powerade at the end. Hahahaha. :P

I hope Faz gets to play next week. And Sharrod and Leon and Toooooooooves. All those awesome people that came from Perth. :)

Top of the ladder, yo.

COOOOL.

And Jack Watts ruins my footy tipping YET AGAIN.
How was I meant to know that Richmond were worse than Melbourne?
How was I meant to know that Jack Watts would kick 3 goals and play really really well?
How was I meant to know the umpires would favour the crap out of Melbourne?
HOWWW?

Anyway, I gots some luck.
Cyril Rioli and Brad Sewell won't play next week due to injuries.
Hahahaha.
That's a few less things to worry about. :P

La la laaaaaa.
Yay for New York!
Marriage equality ftw!
:D

Let out the gay within.

FUN.

It's Alex Fasolo, getting doused in Powerade.
Fun times. :P

So, Collingwood thrashed some Demons yesterday.
Yay.

And I, the worst tipper in the history of footy tipping, tipped 8 winners.
TIPPED EIGHT WINNERS.
EIGHT.

And yeah.
But the weird thing about this, about Melbourne and Collingwood, is their VFL and AFL teams.
Two days before the Queen's Birthday match, Casey Scorpions (Melbourne's VFL team) and Collingwood's VFL team played each other.
And it was a bit of a thrashing, with the Scorpions playing really well.

But let's think about this for a moment.
Collingwood's VFL team is made up of rookies, 19-year-olds, and some other randoms.
Melbourne, on the other hand, have got a VFL team consisting of Ricky Petterd, Matthew Bate, Lynden Dunn, Brendan Fevo--- OKAY I'M KIDDING, HAHA.

So, Dean Bailey, I know you're trollin' my blag.
If you wish to remain coach at Melbourne, here's what you do:

Ricky Petterd. Get him on your team, STAT. I don't care if he's recovering from injury or scratched his key on your car, he's a valuable player.

Matthew Bate. Okay, he may be out of form, but Dean, think about it. He played well in the VFL and yes, it was only against rookies and teenagers, but give the guy another chance.

Lynden Dunn. Give the guy a Gillette razor and get him back on the team. I mean, yes, he may be out of form, but remember what happened in the Ashes? Mitchell Johnson sucked in the first test because it was Movember, but played fabulously in the third test, when it wasn't Movember.

It's kind of silly if your VFL team is going wonderfully, cruisin' along, and your AFL team is sucky.
People care more about the AFL team than the VFL one.
Dean Bailey, think about it.
LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.

Thank you.

EDIT: If I didn't mention it earlier, congratulations to Alex Fasolo. Just take the whole bus.
You were absolutely unreal, keep it up. :D

Cooool.

Ah, good to see I won't be the only one missing the Dees vs Pies match due to an uncontrollable event.

Swanny, Jolly, L&N Brown, and Macaffer have booked their flights to Vegas Arizona, a.k.a The Magical Gypsy Land of Healing.
And they will miss thrashing the flailing Melbourne and their sucky coach.

Not that Dean Bailey is sucky. I think he's a very good coach. But then again, my assessments of good coaching skillz are poor, considering I was one of the cynical bitches who thought James Hird would be worse than Matthew Knights. Oops.

And thanks to the lovely Microbiology people, with their sterilised pens and cool hats, I will miss the Queen's Birthday showdown due to an exam, scheduled at 2:30pm.
Whut.
Who schedules exams at the exact time that Collingwood are playing?
WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?
Creys. ;_;

NAB CUP.

Footy is back!
Just the NAB Cup, but whatever.

Melbourne played on Friday night against both South Australia teams. And they won both games. Hahahaha. :).
Then, Collingwood played Carlton and Richmond, and beat both of them. :P

Dayne Beams with some back-bending and handballing skillz.

If you look very carefully at the photo, you can see Beams' new tattoo on the top of his leg.
Not sure if he has a premiership tattoo, but whatever. Instead of a simple one like the others, Beams will probably get some impressive and colourful artwork to depict the awesomeness of winning a Grand Final.

Anyway, it was a pretty cool match although Madagascar was on at the same time, and then The Naked Gun was on. I really need to sort out my priorities. :/.

Also, some of the rules were a bit weird. Like whoever is the last one to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds gets the free kick against them. They should just stick to the normal rules, that they have had for a long time and everyone is used to it.

Plus, they brought in the "third umpire". Like, Chris Dawes kicked a goal and the umpire went to the "third umpire" to check if it was a legit goal. It was, but it took FOREVER for them to check this. I hope they don't do this in the real football games. idk.

And then, last but not least, the interchange rules. For the real football matches, the AFL have brought in a NEW rule where there's only 3 on the bench and 1 substitute player (who wears a fluoro green vest). They want to limit the amount of interchanges each team does. Seriously? This rule will INCREASE the amount of interchanges, because there will only be 3 on the bench, meaning the players will want to be rested more often. And the substituted player is not allowed to play unless someone gets injured.

Why does the AFL make these rules? The rushed behind rule, the interchange rule, push in the back rule (last night, Taz just slightly touched someone's shoulder and the umpire gave the other guy a free kick. Taz did NOTHING. Just TOUCHED his shoulder. And another time, Taz shepherded so Steele could mark the ball but the umpire wasn't happy with the shepherd because Taz "bumped" him out the way. What even.) etc etc.

Whatever. :(.

So yeah.
Collingwood and Melbourne are into Round 2 of NAB Cup. :D.

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. ;).
