Swans Trivia Night

[Go Swannies]

Anyone who does want to go should contact the club and pay today (Friday). Just say you're on the Red and White Online table. It looks like the extra interest will fill the last few seats at the first table. If we find there's an overflow we can put them on an adjoining table, I hope. I'll check with the Swans office after it all closes this afternoon.

See you for the big event!

I booked my ticket today, I'm in.
BTW, the trivia night's been moved - it's now at the club offices at the back of the Brewongle Stand.

[Go Swannies]

I just got a call from Mary Anne at the Swans. The Trivia Night has now closed and the RWO table is close to full. There are about 100 people coming and Matthew Nicks is going to be MC. As Norris L pointed out, the event has now moved - it's being held up in the players club lounge above the Swans offices. In another advance, drinks are now included in the price we've paid.

Can everyone who has booked please post a short note to say they have got this message - otherwise the Swans are going to have to search to tell you of the change in venue? And can you please PM me with your real name then we'll know who is what pseudonym if we have to go looking for anyone.

Bit more awkward for me to get there now Oh well...

As for real names.....take a guess!!!!

[BAM_BAM]

did they say why it has been moved?

[Go Swannies]

I presume they have moved to the smaller venue because they didn't get the 350 people they were after. I'd much prefer to go with 100 so I'm happy. Coming Bam Bam?

I want to, but work will restrict me. End of year etc.

One game before the end of the season I'm ditching the boys and Sis and I will catch up with you. We will have time before you leave wont we?

[Go Swannies]

I'll be in Mauritius for the Pies game and leave for Greenland straight after the Adelaide game - so it'll have to be then as that's the last game I'll see this season. I am meant to be working in London on Grand Final weekend but have booked flights so I could just get back in time for a Swannies GF. We'll find out how likely that it tomorrow.

Well the news you've all been waiting for.........

We won!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't even close.

Had Magic on our table and did you guys proud!

[Go Swannies]

Score - RWO 146. Next closest was 126 in 2nd place. That's three goals and 2 behinds. Magic was both very relaxed and talkative - and had some of the right answers.

Great night all round. Everyone contributed. Very funny interviews - though Nicksy is infinitely better than Nicky D. Weird being in a room where every time I pushed my chair back I collided with Adam Goodes' chair. I think he thought I was tagging him.

And, as Dawson points out - we won! The Trivia Premiership is ours.

Congrats everyone involved.

I hope you did your duty and promoted RWO.

Nah mate,
Passed on the offer.

Having only just come back from Adelaide I'm very close to burning out at the moment. Was actually off work sick yesterday.

Had a bath instead.

Would have enjoyed my weekend off, but I have to make the banner on Saturday morning.

For the benefit of people at our table - just wanted to tell you that:

It was Lew Hoad which won Wimbledon. (I knew it!)
Smell is the first sense developed.
PNG and 1975 was correct (Well done Mike)
David Ackerly won the first B & F.
John Rantall played the most consecutive games without being reported.
Jared Crouch was our Number One pick in 1995.
We have been in 12 GF.
Hunter River was correct (Well done RoyBoy!)
Bill Stephen and Robert Walls were the two Fitzroy coaches,
Coleman kicked 12 on debut (Right the first time, Norris)
Twins were the Lairds and Stibbards.
Mike Tyson beat Trevor Berbick.
Michael Kennedy wore #14 before Kel.
52 goals is most in a single match.

I have the rest of the answers if you would like to know any.

[Schneidergirl]

I notice my name hasn't been mentioned.

I really don't like to be vain but I did make the difference in us winning or losing. Without me we could have come 2nd....

Good work, team!

Now get those boots on and front up at Homebush next weekend
