Win Prizes Swans Strange Quiz or: How I Learned to Stop Yawning and Love the Bye

[grimlock]

To make up for the absence of a Swans game this weekend, I've devised a little Swans quiz for us fanatics to get our red and white fix. I initially wanted to lock this thread after posting the question to prevent the earlybirds spoiling it for latecomers but after much thought I'm happy for people to write down their responses in this thread or somewhere offline and compare them to the answers when I release them on Monday. In any case, since there are no prizes involved so there's no point being that strict.

Therefore be warned there could possibly be SPOILERS after this post, and if you want to honestly test yourself don't look below this original post until you've completed the quiz.

Section A: Half-year review
Let's start with something fresh and hopefully easy, the 2013 season so far.

1. Against which teams have the Swans failed to pick up the full 4 premiership points? (Hint: not a trick question, only include the teams we have played against.)

2. Name the Swan leading the team in the following statistical categories:
a) Disposals
b) Goals
c) Goal assists
d) Tackles
e) Marks
f) Contested Marks
g) Clearances
h) One-percenters
i) Hitouts

3. Which 4 Swans have made their AFL debuts?

4. I've included this question to see who has been paying attention to the reserves. The Ressies have played in 10 NEAFL games, but only 4 players have played in all of them? (Hint: No topups have played all 10)

Section B: Memorable Moments
The following lists a Swan and his involvement in some of the most memorable moments in recent Swans history. But can you name the player who kicked, handballed, tapped, or delivered the ball to that Swan? (Hint: the answer is not necessarily a Swan!)

E.g. If the event was "Jude Bolton's 2nd goal 2013 Round 11 v Adelaide" the answer would be "Brandon Jack"

1. Nick Malceski's 2nd goal 2012 Grand Final v Hawthorn.
2. Lewis Jetta runs all the way from the Swans' half back line to the goalsquare for an exciting goal 2012 Preliminary Final v Collingwood.
3. Andrejs Everitt marking and launching an accurate 50m kick for the winning goal 2012 Round 13 v Geelong.
4. Trent Dennis-Lane winning a free for a great tackle and goal in the right forward pocket 2010 Elimination Final v Carlton. (Hint: Name the player he tackled)
5. Lewis Jetta's 1st AFL goal, after 19 straight behinds. 2010 Round 20 v Hawthorn.
6. Daniel Bradshaw's after-the-3-quarter-time-siren 60m torpedo from the Brewongle wing 2010 Round 6 v Brisbane.
7. Michael O'Loughlin gets to the loose ball in the goalsquare to boot the winning goal followed by an exchange of pleasantries with the West Coast cheer squad 2006 Qualifying Final v West Coast.
8. Leo Barry "YOU STAR!" mark to save the 2005 Grand Final v West Coast.
9. Amon Buchanan's go-ahead goal 2005 Grand Final v West Coast.
10. Adam Schneider's 3rd goal that made Tim Lane exclaim "And the Swans are into the Grand Final!" 2005 Preliminary Final v St Kilda.
11. Nick Davis' 4th and winning goal 2005 Semi Final v Geelong. (Brownie points if you can provide the answers for his other 3 goals)
12. Barry Hall's after-the-siren goal that put the Swans ahead for the first time 2005 Round 3 Brisbane. (Hint: I will accept either the Swan that kicked it to him or the Lion that gave away the free kick)
13. Tadhg Kennelly's "That's as good as it gets!" goal where he faked a kick, spun around Chris Johnson and goaled from 50m under pressure from Michael Voss. 2005 Round 20 v Brisbane.
14. Jude Bolton's "I see it but I don't believe it" goal 2003 Qualifying Final v Port Adelaide. (Note: Anthony Hudson repeated his quote for the Nicky D heroics 2 years later but this was when he first uttered it).
15. Daryn Cresswell milks a free kick and goals after-the-siren to win the game 2002 Round 5 v North Melbourne. (Hint: Name the Kangaroo that gave away the free kick).
16. Tony Lockett's 1300th goal which sparked a mass ground invasion 1999 Round 10 v Collingwood.
17. Tony Lockett's after-the-siren point to win the 1996 Preliminary Final v Essendon.
18. Daryn Cresswell's mark and winning goal just outside the goalsquare 1996 Qualifying Final v Hawthorn.

Section C: General Swans Trivia

1. Paul Roos' biggest losing margin as head coach of the Swans happened in his last year (2010). Which team was victorious that day and what was the final margin?
2. Two Swans on two separate occasions have been used as the stepladder for Mark of the Year winners. Name the Mark of the Year winners and the Swans involved. (Hint: One happened at ANZ Stadium, the other at the SCG).
3. Nick Malceski famously kicked the last goal of the 2012 AFL season but a lesser known fact is that a Swan also kicked the first goal of the 2012 season. Which Swan?
4. John Longmire has coached 2 draws since becoming head coach, the 2nd one of course occurred a few weeks ago against Fremantle. Who was the first draw against and when did this happen (Round and Year)?
5. Which Swan led the 'bounces' statistical category at the end of the 2012 home and away season?
6. The practice of swapping down to a lower jumper number seems to be out of vogue at the Swans. Only 4 current Swans have adopted this practice (not counting players coming in from other teams). Name the players and their original jumper number when they first arrived at the Swans.

Section D: Who can it be now?
One of my favourite pasttimes is to daydream what it would be like to combine the strengths of 2 Swans into one hybrid super player. The pace of Jetta combined with the size of Mumford. The shoulders of JPK combined with the leaping ability of Jesse White. But until the hyper mega conglomerate TwitFace invents this technology in 2023 my dreams will sadly have to be put on hold. In the meantime, we can make do with this ersatz version.

From the Swans player profile photos, I have taken the face of one Swan (without the hair) and placed it on top of another (excuse the awful Photoshop job). Name the two players involved in each photo. (Hint: They are all linked in some way, but the link can be a little tenuous for some of them).

Section C: General Swans Trivia

1. Paul Roos' biggest losing margin as head coach of the Swans happened in his last year (2010). Which team was victorious that day and what was the final margin? Melbourne, 92 points
2. Two Swans on two separate occasions have been used as the stepladder for Mark of the Year winners. Name the Mark of the Year winners and the Swans involved. (Hint: One happened at ANZ Stadium, the other at the SCG). Darren Jolly and Heath Grundy
3. Nick Malceski famously kicked the last goal of the 2012 AFL season but a lesser known fact is that a Swan also kicked the first goal of the 2012 season. Which Swan? Luke Parker
4. John Longmire has coached 2 draws since becoming head coach, the 2nd one of course occurred a few weeks ago against Fremantle. Who was the first draw against and when did this happen (Round and Year)? No idea
5. Which Swan led the 'bounces' statistical category at the end of the 2012 home and away season? Rhyce Shaw
6. The practice of swapping down to a lower jumper number seems to be out of vogue at the Swans. Only 4 current Swans have adopted this practice (not counting players coming in from other teams). Name the players and their original jumper number when they first arrived at the Swans. Ryan O'Keefe (39), Nick Malceski (38) Harry Cunningham (44), Kieran Jack (43)

Section D: Who can it be now?

One of my favourite pasttimes is to daydream what it would be like to combine the strengths of 2 Swans into one hybrid super player. The pace of Jetta combined with the size of Mumford. The shoulders of JPK combined with the leaping ability of Jesse White. But until the hyper mega conglomerate TwitFace invents this technology in 2023 my dreams will sadly have to be put on hold. In the meantime, we can make do with this ersatz version.

From the Swans player profile photos, I have taken the face of one Swan (without the hair) and placed it on top of another (excuse the awful Photoshop job). Name the two players involved in each photo. (Hint: They are all linked in some way, but the link can be a little tenuous for some of them).

17. Wade Chapman

A much unheralded Swan and one in the true spirit of the Bloods. Always getting concussed as he played head over the ball and took no step backwards. In the last desperate moments he places a great kick into space and lets the big No.4 run onto it. Quickly he was forgotten in the scenes that followed.

Lest we forget (him). Well done Chappy.

ps. I hate the Bye and now I've gone and watched all of Series 3 G.O.T.
