Cats Trivia Thread

[Brandon Boyd]

7 goals 2 behinds to 1 behind in the last quarter... Not a bad effort.

 

[Catman]

Was it versus St. Kilda in 1994?

Gazza slammed home 5 in the last quarter and we crept over the line.

Round 12 - 1994
Geelong... 7.4, 10.6, 10.9, 17.11.113
St Kilda... 4.2, 7.6, 14.11, 16.14.110

I reckon it's before 1980.

This is turning into the Brandon and 'mo show, but here's the next question.

Geelong were the first team to reel in a 3/4 time deficit of over six goals and win. Who was the opponent, and in what year?

1907 Round 17, Geelong turned a 38 point deficit into a 5 point victory at Victoria Park

 

[jim boy]

OK, easy question, hoiw many senior premierships have Geelong won?

That is absolutely brilliant Jim Boy, well done!!

And just to confirm, from Every Game Ever Played...

Section B - 3rd Round, 1907
Coll'wood... 4.9, 5.11, 9.16, 9.17.71
Geelong... 1.0, 5.1, 5.2, 12.4.76

In those days, they used to play 14 rounds, then spilt up into 2 sections and play another 3 rounds.

Six-- 1925, '31, '37, '51, '52 and '63.

Damn straight it's easy, it's on my GFC coffee mug.

Ah, going all the way back to the team's origins in the 1850's... OK, fair enough. I was just going by the VFL/AFL period.

In that case, I think P&P's got it.

 

[Generalissimo]

Our senior premierships are divided thusly:

* 7 in the old VFA that we competed in until 1896
* 6 in the VFL/AFL
* 1 night premiership/preseason
* 1 flag in the "new" VFL (arguably could be counted as seniors)

My favourite, Peter Johnston.

"The Swede" is Paul Vinar.

I don't know the other 2 at this stage.

That would mean the Bulldogs have 10 premierships!!!

 

[NakedDeadGuy]

Troubles Fred Flanagan
The Swede Paul Vinar (of Ukranian descent - Swede???)
Pope David Clarke the first - wouldn't pass the pill.

In the 1994 Preliminary Final, we all know that Gary Ablett kicked the winning goal after the siren to put Geelong into the Grand Final.

The question is, who kicked a point for Geelong which made scores level with around 3 minutes to go??

 

[catattack]

Garry Hocking?

That's incorrect.

Hint: He marked the ball about 55 metres out, then played on, ran around the man on the mark but sprayed the kick, just sneaking in for a point.

 

[ScouseCat]

What number did John Newman wear while playing for Geelong??

[catattack]
