The 2012 FanFooty AFL/VFL Trivia Quiz! (Round 3 Q's are up!)

[c4v3m4n]

Hey everyone...

...sorry for my absence the past couple of days, but it's been out of my control. The bad cold that I had last week got worse, requiring me to go to the hospital, where I was told that it could be pneumonia. :-\

A chest x-ray and a blood test later confirmed the worst, but after a couple days of observation and awesome drugs, I've been sent home to rest up and get better. :D (Also means, I will be on very sparingly)

I know you are all anxious about the questions for Round 2, but luckily, I have them right here. :)

Since the questions have been released a couple of days late, the lockout will now be 11:59pm SATURDAY night.

As for the ladder, I'll hold it in suspense until the end of this round. ;)

Right, questions away!!

With question 4 of the easy questions is it referring to matches or not used at all (training)?

I answered it according to stadiums that no longer host matches.

I answered it according to stadiums that no longer host matches.

To clarify question 4, it's any ground that has hosted an AFL/VFL match in the past.

I missed last week, but would still like to enter if that's possible.

Just to clarify, does Question 7 relate only to stadiums currently used by the AFL? (will be used in 2012?)

Hi Rusty. You are more than welcome to join us. :) To clarify that question, it does include this season.
