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. ;).

TV SHOWS.

So, yesterday, I was watching The Bounce.
For those who don't know, it is a new footy show on Channel 7. Hosted by Peter Helliar (aka Strauchanieeeeeeeeeeeee!).
Now, considering that I miss Rove and really want him back, I need another TV show to enjoy, y'know.

So, I watched The Bounce.
Good thing: RICHO RICHO MAAAAAN, I WANNA BE A RICH-- um, yes, Richo was on there. He was so funny. ;).
Bad thing: Leigh Matthews. YOU ARE BORING EVERYONE, BORING! I don't care about your ~awesomeness~ in 1990! That was 20 years ago, you are not awesome anymore. Get with the times!

Anyway, another boring thing: They went through all the games being played this weekend and talked on and on about it. Whut. And at least Richo made some quips during this, because Leigh Matthews didn't. He was talking in his ~boring~ voice. :/.

And sometimes the audience would laugh at something on a segment, and I'd be like, "Noooo! That wasn't funny, go away. Did you have too much laughing gas today?" Crazy people.

And in the newspaper and stuff, The Bounce got described as "Rove meets Before The Game" and "a family show".
Well, just to mention, Rove was (oh god, why the past tense?) not a family show. Channel 10 put it on at 9:30pm! Kiddies don't stay up till 10:30pm! ...Or do they?
Anyhoo, the similarities with Rove and The Bounce: a monologue at the start by the host, funny segments, and live audience.
Differences: A LOT. There was no Rove (as in the guy, you know that awesome guy that would constantly make me laugh and I blogged about a lot?). And some segments just weren't funny (unlike Rove, where EVERYTHING is funny).

And Pete was a good host and all, but he needs a catchphrase at the end or something. Like, Rove says, "Say hi to your mum for me" which is quirky and fun. And Cal Wilson and Shaun Micallef say quirky things at the end, like, "I am, and hopefully in the future, [insert name here], goodnight!" Whatever. It concludes the show. Wraps things up nicely.
Pete should say something like, "Smell you laterz" or "Say hi to MY mum for me". I don't know, I fail at quirkiness.

Oh and at the end of the show, they had a Punk'd-style segment featuring Nick Maxwell and Steele "Rusty" Sidebottom. I was all like, "Omgomgomgomgomg~!" And then, it wasn't funny. I didn't get it. It was just about Nick Maxwell selling some Collingwood merchandise to some eager fans and Rusty was all like, "... Don't take my thongs!" and Nick went away for a minute and then, the police came and Rusty was like, "?" and Nick came back and was like, "Um, whut" and Peter Helliar came and was like, "Hahahahahahaha" and Rusty was like, "Oh, okay. Hahahahahahahaha" and then, they were all like, "Hahahahahahaha" and I was like, "?"

Anyway, while I was watching the Bounce (it went to 8:30pm), SYTYCDA was on and I missed the first 30 minutes. Now, at first, I thought, "Who cares? SYTYCDA is boring, and I won't miss my favourites because I like most of the dancers, lol."
So, y'know what they did? They put Jessie H and Robbie, Matt and Carly, dancing FIRST. Whut. Oh no they didn't! My four favourites and I missed them. FAIL. And the rest of the show was boring, except Ivy and Kieran. (And they weren't dancing together, ugh).

So yeah. Hopefully, the Bounce is better next week.
In the meantime, Before The Game is on Saturday (wooooo~) and TAYG and Sleuth 101 on Sunday. ;).
In conclusion, I want Rove back. Sadface.
