The ULTIMATE trivia post!!!

[HarveysDeciple]

It was a ridiculous decision.
It was still part of the same game. How can you allow a side to bring someone from outside the selected 21 into the team. It would be like Australia sending the 12th man out to open the batting.

[St Fid Jnr]

i thought you had a quiz question

[HarveysDeciple]

sorry St Fid Jr.
But here's one.

St.Kilda were involved in the first and last games ever played at a particular ground. (87 years apart). (No not Moorabbin, to easy).
What was that ground??

If you really must test yourself then name the seasons and the opponents as well.

[saintbrat]

Junction Oval?

[St Fid Jnr]

i dont know

i thought it was the Junction oval but that was only 79 years apart - i think

we played there 580 times

[HarveysDeciple]

Yes it was the Junction Oval.
The first game there was in 1897. Saints vs Pies.
the last game there was in 1984. Fitzroy vs Saints.

SB's turn I think??

[saintbrat]

someone wake me UP
pure luck guys and Now I am under pressure

I have a questions I have been dying to ask__ BUT I don't know the answer and looking for one

when was the last time two teams played each other three times out of 6 games ??


and just for a simple one I do know the answer for- when did the baker and the cook play on each other?

[HarveysDeciple]

Do you count it if it is over 2 seasons??
Cause Brisbane and Collingwood played 3 times in 6 games from the finals of 2003 and early season 2004. It was also 4 from 10 games.

[saintbrat]

yeh I was counting over two seasons- was that at the same ground?


I guess if you are in finals you will play one team more than once if you win a couple-- but how often have the last games of one season and the first of the next been against the same teams?

[twaq]

when was the last time two teams played each other three times out of 6 games ??

Should have been us and Brisbane this year!!!

Did Bakes play on Troy Cook in round 22???

8) 8)

[saintbrat]

It is us twaq- when we play them for the third time at the gabba In round 1 2005- but I wondered when it last happened - If it had?

were the pies games at the Gabba_ or Melburne

yes troy cook and steven baker rd 22-

your go

[HarveysDeciple]

the first 2 were at the G. The third was at the Gabba.

[twaq]

OK...

This is from another source, obviously I can't say it now otherwise people may find it...

No. 35 is the highest number to be worn in at least one senior game in each of the last 10 years.

What is the next highest number to be worn in a senior game every season since 1994?

8) 8)

[St Fid Jnr]

its too hard

i am down to less than 30 + its took a hour

[karnak]

I'm going to have an absolute guess and say that it is the number 23.

[jed]

27
Dean Grieg 94
Dean Matthews 95
Luke Beveridge 96-99
Chad Davis 00
The Blake 01-04

An appropriate question for post number 300.

Barry Breen celebrated his 300th game against Footscray in 1982. He played one more game for the Saints before retiring but these days is credited with only 300 games. Why?

[saintbrat]

congrats jed

if you had asked which four saints played 300 I could answer

[St Fid Jnr]

You don well before santbrat and i forgot to say well done.

That is a very interesting question.
Does anyone know the answer?
