[swansrock4eva]

By the time I read the post the deadline of 8pm the following day was over. So I assumed I'd missed out this time.

If this was the case for everyone else, then maybe we should set a longer period to answer.

If not, why was everyone who was complaining about not getting a fair go at answering the questions, enough to have the format changed, not bother to participate??

[Bleed Red Blood]

Well Swansrock4eva these were your answers - I put the correct answer next to it.

Q1 ?Who was the first South Melbourne player to score 100 goals in a season ? worth 5 points
Bob Pratt - Correct

Q2 ? Which player holds the club record for goals scored ? 4 points
Bob Pratt - Correct

Q3 - Which team did South play in the 1945 grand final ? 2 points

Q4 ? Why was it called the blood bath grand final ? 4 points

Off the top of my head it wasn't and I think Cecil St was where our first meeting was held, but I'll check that

I had no Idea, I just remembered the "cecil St Football Club" from that damnned Trivia Night!

Question 5 is a crock.

We are the same club, and our first appearance in finals was something like 1899 (or was it 1898?).

I realise we are the same club however I specified our Sydney timeline.

No, you didn't, actually.

Your question clearly implied the word "Sydney" as in the context of the club. If you were looking for an answer since 1982, you should have said something like:

"What was the first year in which the Swans made the finals during the Sydney era?"

The answer to that would obviously be 1986. The answer to the question you asked could have easily been 1898 (I looked it up to be sure). In fact, you could even make a case for 1896, when Collingwood and South Melbourne tied for top spot in the VFA, resulting in the novel concept of a "Grand Final" to decide the premiers.

I would have thought he was meaning Sydney since the name change because he used South in the questions that referred to earlier history.

That's what I though too. I don't know what you're whingeing about Charlie. Keep the quiz going Bleed Red Blood. Just maybe give a longer time frame, in which to answer the questions?

Not whinging at all - it could have been better expressed, that's all.

I agree, keep the quiz going. I didn't send in answers, but I did do them in my head. They were good in that they ranged in difficulty to a certain extent.
