The Bounce is an Australian sports television program which debuted on 24 March 2010.[2] It was a variety program focused on the Australian rules football league, and was hosted by comedian Peter Helliar.[2] It also featured former Australian rules footballers Matthew Richardson and Leigh Matthews.[2]

Demise

After five episodes, on 22 April 2010, the Seven Network announced that the show had been stopped 'indefinitely', at least until the finals series in September. This was cited as due to its poor ratings in the AFL heartland of Melbourne. However, the program was never brought back. Seven instead broadcast a primetime version of AFL Game Day during the Finals Series.
