Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Why was this match so important to Swannies fans?

Answer: Because this was rivalry round

That week was Rivalry round, with rivals like Collingwood & Carlton, Essendon & Hawthorn, and Adelaide & Port Adelaide facing off. The Easter Monday blockbuster in 2005 was between Collingwood & Western Bulldogs, the ANZAC day game was between Essendon & Collingwood, and the Queen's B'Day game was between Melbourne and Collingwood.

2. Who did the Swans play?

Answer: Brisbane Lions

The Brisbane Lions have always been rivals of the Swans, although it remains one of the less intense rivalries. The Dockers and Eagles faced off in the Western derby, and Newcastle was in NRL.

3. One of the most disturbing facts for Lions fans was what?

Answer: Brisbane squandered a 32-point lead at three quarter time

The Lions had a 10.14-74 to 6.6-42 lead heading into the final term, and only added 1.1 to their score to Sydney's 6.3 to lose 13.9-87 to 11.15-81.

4. Which Lions forward was causing the most problems for Sydney?

Answer: Daniel Bradshaw

Daniel Bradshaw kicked 5 goals including Brisbane's only fourth quarter goal. Aker kicked 2, while Voss didn't score in his 250th game. Brennan didn't play.

5. Who scored the most goals for Sydney?

Answer: Barry Hall

If you thought Bradshaw was causing the Swans some headaches, then you should have seen Barry Hall. He acted more than a handful for the experienced Justin Leppitch, kicking 5 goals.

6. What was the attendance for the match?

Answer: 33,960

33,960 turned out at The Gabba to see Brisbane fall agonisingly short of a second victory. 42,027 was the crowd for West Coast v. Fremantle, while 61,608 (a crowd The Gabba can't hold) fans saw Collingwood defeat Carlton. 36,140 was the official attendance at the Kangaroos' upset win over St.Kilda.

7. Who of these Swans players did not kick a goal?

Answer: Craig Bolton

Craig Bolton didn't kick a goal, as he was a defender, Jude Bolton kicked a goal from 60 metres which involved Matthew Nicks cleverly preventing a Lions defender from touching it. Adam Goodes had 2, while Ablett got one of his own.

8. Which of these is not true about the winning goal.

Answer: It was scored in the dying seconds of the match

Barry Hall scored the goal after the siren, but it was a set shot. It was 81 all when the siren sounded.

9. How was the winning goal scored?

Answer: From a free kick against Chris Johnson

Chris Johnson was penalised by the umpire for a high spoil on Barry Hall. Lions fans and players were outraged but were silenced when the replay showed that Johnson's hand went straight into Hall's face.

10. When was this match played?

Answer: Saturday Night, April 9

On a Saturday night Sydney defeated Brisbane and West Coast defeated Fremantle. On Friday night, Melbourne defeated Geelong. On Saturday afternoon, Collingwood defeated Carlton and the Kangaroos defeated St.Kilda. Finally on Sunday, Adelaide, Essendon, and Richmond were victorious over Port Adelaide, Hawthorn, and the Western Bulldogs, respectively.
