[Hollow Knight]

14. Will Beau McDonald play more games than Scott Harding?

[/B]

Quick guys, you still have 20 hours to lock in your Asterices!

 

[Warwick]

Unfortunately Beau's retirement has thrown a spanner into the works.

For the sake of fair treatment the rule's committee has decided the question will stand but no edited astrices for that particular question will be allowed. (I have a record of the respones to that particular question so I can tell who has cheated.)

Just a reminder that the game will close at 7.30 pm Saturday night. Anyone who edits their answers after this time will be disqualified. And if you have seen this for the first time, you may submit your answers, but you may not use an asterisk on question 14.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Ok here we go...

This thread is similiar to the one started by 818295 on the main board. Here are 25 questions that require a yes or no answer. Quote the questions and put in your answers - also put an asterisk against the 5 you are most confident about getting right. The answers with an asterisk are worth 4 points each, while the other 20 are worth 2 points each to come to a combined maximum total of 60. At the end of the year I will tally up the answers to see who is Nostradamus of the Brisbane board. Btw - all questions (i.e. number of disposals) include any finals unless otherwise stated.

I see a few of mine that look suspiciously wrong... (Drummond... Moody...).

 

[royboy2]

Pretty sure only Q24 needs to be answered now and i dare say its looking unlikely

Swift is over 190, IIRC, and I suspect if picks 3-6 are all midfielders (Rich, Hartlett, Ziebell, Sidebottom) Vickery would have to look mighty tempting.
