In the aftermath of Round 23 and trying to distract myself from the nerves of the impending finals series, I put together this quiz.

At the time, I was thinking, "This will surely be the highlight of the season, what could possibly top this?" (I wasn't allowing myself to think too far ahead).

I was also thinking, come the end of the year, if we'd been bundled out of the finals in some devastating fashion, it would be nice to reflect on this great comeback. And I thought people would have good chance at some tricky questions after likely dozens of viewings - of course, some of that may have been erased by hundreds of viewings of another pivotal few minutes since then!

So, for your entertainment, a 21-question quiz about the minutia of the last two minutes of Round 23.

Test yourself, test you relatives on Christmas. Post your score here!

NOTE: Questions refer to the Channel 7 broadcast and widely circulated information post-match.

Got 10 right in 4 mins 37 secs

I've looked at that sequence more than any other for the season including finals. Thought i would do better. Great questions though. I doubt anyone will get more than 15 without having to refresh they're memory beforehand

I got 12 right in 3mins 55 seconds. I should’ve got 14 except I was going too fast, and twice  hit on the wrong answer. Well, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. 😁

Thanks very much DiO.

Alas I did poorly but enjoyed doing it.

Gee that was a ripper of a game despite the umps pinging Gus for insufficient intent which was a howler. I'm so glad that Lever didn't just go the roost which given the clock time many players would have. Cool head is Jake.

The look on Hawkins face when Max marked was fantastic. He was so angry.

I know score wise there have been bigger comebacks but at Kardinia park and the top spot at stake it will go down as one of our best.

10 correct, two of which were rank guesses. Enjoyable quiz, well done. 

(SPOILER AHEAD)

I was going to protest being called incorrect at the collision question when I answered Cameron and Henderson - then I remembered that was earlier in the quarter, and there was one involving Dangerfield and someone at (our) half forward. Amazing all the little details you forget.

Ten only.  But then I can’t remember much of anything these days. Unless it was 50 years ago.  

...which, in things MFC, would involve total recall of 'Diamond' Jim Tilbrook's debut, at (as a commentator noted) "$5 a kick"?

14 correct.

To be fair I did rewatch this match about two weeks back. Still lol at Richo getting worked up on commentary “you’re trying to win the game?!”.

“… you’re trying to keep it in.”

Poor Richo had to keep his composure while the rest of us were free to scream blue murder. 😆

Yeah that was a deliberate trick question on my part. Had to celebrate the fact that there were two almost comical collisions like that in the quarter!

After over 300 attempts, here are some quiz results.

Average score: 44%

Not surprisingly given it was a trick question, the one that tripped people up the most was "Which two Geelong players collide at a crucial moment?", with many (58.7%) selecting "Cameron and Henderson", which didn't happen in the last 2 minutes, instead of "Dangerfield and Simpson" (14.2%).

An impressive number (22.8%) were able to name the order of players in a key handball chain - I thought this would be much lower!

The highest scoring questions were "Which two people are shown chatting as Gawn prepares to take his kick?" (91.4%) followed by "What does May say to Gawn after he takes the mark?" (88.4%).

I'm putting together an epic Grand Final quiz, which I'll post shortly.

Which player looked the angriest when Max marked?

Elbows Hawkins?

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
