The 2011 FanFooty AFL/VFL Trivia Quiz (The Winner is announced!!!)

[CrowsFan]

Ah so close with the last question! Missed out on Nathan and Mitch Brown (such a common surname didn't think they were brothers), Kelvin and Andrew Moore (don't even know who Kelvin is), and Robert and Matthew Warnock :(

Ah so close with the last question! Missed out on Nathan and Mitch Brown (such a common surname didn't think they were brothers), Kelvin and Andrew Moore (don't even know who Kelvin is), and Robert and Matthew Warnock :(

Surely Nathan and Mitch were a giveaway as they were mentioned in the "most collective games played by twins" question. Kelvin Moore plays for Richmond, again didnt play for them this year, but is still on their senior playing list.

Also, just so everyone knows, CrowsFan was the closest to the actual answer so I gave him the 5 points. You were very close indeed. :D

Actually, just to frustrate you all, I've decided not to publish the revised leaderboard for Round 10.  ;D

Instead, once the final round has concluded, I will announce the winners in reverse order.  :o

But I will acknowledge this round's winner...

...BOOMZ! (surprise, surprise...)  ::)



Now hang tight for the FINAL round, I should have them up by tonight, if not first thing tomorrow morning...

Hey everyone,

Actually, scrap the word search.

Song Writing Challenge (top 5 lyrics as chosen by me will receive points)

Yes, this has nothing to do with trivia. But I thought this may be a bit of fun.

Your lyrics are:

'Cause there's one day in September we want to remember.
There isn't any doubting we'll be in there shouting.
Football's such a part of this whole town,
And we know that you won't let us down.



Wow, what a final round!

There's a infinite amount of points up for grab!  ;D

Good luck!

So we going to find out the results any time soon?

I'm just grabbing a bite for lunch and then it'll be all up.

Sorry (again!) I haven't done it sooner, I just pulled a 250hr+ working fortnight for the Taste of Melbourne festival, and today's the first chance I've really had to catch up on other things (now it's all over)

Only heard about Ross Lyon a few days ago, that's how busy I've been...

Song Writing Challenge (top 5 lyrics as chosen by me will receive points)

Yes, this has nothing to do with trivia. But I thought this may be a bit of fun.

As this year's Grand Final will be held in the first week of October, the song, "One Day in September" by Mike Brady kinda doesn't work this year. So your challenge is to re-write part of the song. The 5 best lyrics (as chosen by me) will receive points. The best will receive 5, 2nd best = 4 etc.

Your lyrics are:

'Cause there's one day in September we want to remember.
There isn't any doubting we'll be in there shouting.
Football's such a part of this whole town,
And we know that you won't let us down.

Answer: CrowsFan wins this challenge with his effort:

'Cause there's one day in October when no-one is sober.
As the crowd begins to cheer, men down an Aussie beer.
The footy and beer go hand in hand,
Shouting wildly from the main grand stand.
