Happy New Year, Demonlanders!

In celebration, here's my quiz about the 2021 Grand Final.

It's a long one at 57 questions, so make sure you're in the zone when you have a go. I've given the maximum allowable time of 20 minutes.

Enjoy!

Unfortunately the website crashed on me, half way through, showing me all the correct answers. But great effort to put these together

Great job making the quiz!
It was lots of fun.

“Only” got 67% and had watched the replay in NYE, so I guess I’m gonna have to watch it again a few more times 😉

P.S thanks for not quizzing about anything in the 2nd quarter!

Someone doesn't know how to spell Jordon

In Gawny's book, Jordon is misspelled once as "Jordan" which is the only time I'd ever seen that faux pas.  :lol:

Fritsch gets called Bailey and Bayley in the space of two sentences!   


Thanks Dees in October.

I think I will stop doing these. My confidence is taking a battering. 

One question that was easy was Lyon interviewing someone who said they would have kicked nine.

I didnt see who it was but even without the suggested names I would have said Allen Jakovich.

And he probably would have. 

He was a remarkable forward. But looking at our forward line now its still pretty exciting.

Bbb prior to us had one bad year and THREE years of being one of the best forwards in the land. In a very average team as well.

Tmac is a mixed bag. But when he does fire, he is a defender' s nightmare and he is exceptionally strong.

Kozzie and Spargo will keep improving. 

Dogga likewise. 

Fritta is the interesting one. If he continues improving on his current trajectory he will bag over sixty next year.

So we had ( still do) a great midfield. Then we built the best backline. And now we seem to have created a very potent forward line. It took a while for it to sort itself out but it really gelled coming into the finals. I'm not sure which forward to be the most excited by. I think maybe Kozzie. I do think this year will see us making over 100 points a game on a fairly frequent basis.

38/57 :[

Current average is 56% so 66.66% ain't too shabby. Also an appropriate number 👹

Scored 37, some were to hard to choose

Went pretty sh*it hey Bingers?’

I’m so disappointed to have only got 38 out of 57. I thought I’d rewatched it sufficiently. Clearly not. I guess I’ll just have to go and watch it again. 🙄 

Great quiz, Dees!!!! Thank you ❤️💙

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
