QUIZ - Round 23 Last Two Minutes. Test your memory!

[Dees_In_October 3,515]

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

[In Harmes Way 7,889]

That was fun. Job well done.

I got 10 as well (*with a couple of guesses)

[DemonWorshipper 304]

I got 17 in 2.5 minutes.

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. 😁

I got 57% which is better than my maths mark in Year 11! (and I haven’t watched that game again... yet!)

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,691]

Ashamed of myself...

 

Also, didn't do so well in the quiz.

[Demonstone 23,644]

I just had a go and got every question correct in under 90 seconds.

Alas, my first three attempts were not as successful.

[leave it to deever 17,648]

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.

8 for me, ashamed! I know what I'll be watching tonight.

[Fanatique Demon 2,764]

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

[Nasher 33,686]

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.

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

Like it was yesterday. 

[Lord Travis 10,819]

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. 😆

Thank you, 2021; now we can say,

Like, it was so yesterday!

If it was about the Grand Final would get 100%

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!

Sounds like a challenge 😉 Maybe I'll make one for early next year and see who's been keeping up their re-watching!

[leave it to deever 17,648]

Which player looked the angriest when Max marked?

(Hint...yes not a defender)

[Dees_In_October 3,515]

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.
