Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Sherrin' is the brand of football used in the Australian Football League in the early 2000s. Which other, generally much maligned football, was an option for the toss-winning captain during the 1990s?

Answer: The Faulkner

The Faulkner, the Ross Faulkner, was a longish shaped thing, more a capsule than a pill. You could kick it a mile, but it was hard to bounce.
2. Which of the following clubs is the only one to be thrown out of the Victorian or Australian Football League without semblance of a merger?

Answer: University Blacks

Yes, University Blacks got relegated to the Amateurs before the First World War. When they played in the VFL, they were amateurs anyway.
3. What footy term would best describe my introducing you to my ugly step-sister?

Answer: Hospital handpass

A hospital handpass is an ill-directed, floating handball (when the ball is held in one hand and punched with the other fist) which puts the intended receiver in a position in which they are likely to be flattened.
4. What is Docker and Kangaroo Peter Bell's ancestry?

Answer: American-Korean

His dad was a GI and his mum Korean. He was adopted by an Australian couple.
5. Complete this couplet of the original Brisbane Bears theme {song;} 'Our home is mighty Brisbane, we're playing for our state. The Bear will growl across the land _______ '?

Answer: our victories will be great

And who'd have thought this from Mike Brady, the same man responsible for 'One Day in September'? It's never a good idea to write a whole footy song rather than just some platitudes to lay over an old standard. The team took many years to learn this gem and in their twilight years the Bears replaced by a stirring song set to 'Battle Hymn of the Republic.'
6. What state was Warwick Capper born in?

Answer: Victoria

Don't let the Big V down! If you got this one wrong, you're not doing any worse than Warwick.
7. What is born again, and again, and again, Christian Gary Ablett's sacriligious nickname?

Answer: God

A temperamental genius.
8. What does a kick score if it hits the goalpost?

Answer: One

If it said 'goalpost or behindpost' it would depend which one.
9. What footy club does tennis player Mark Philippoussis barrack for?

Answer: Hawthorn

We love them as losers, but we're worried that they might just win. The Hawks, that is.
10. Who'd have thought that Daniel Southern would make such a good commentator?

Answer: The astute people at the ABC

Daniel Southern likes snakes and going to places where there are snakes.
