Yeah, that question one is a doozie. It could be some guy like Adrian McAdam that burst on the scene with a bag of goals but didn't play every match of the season. Good question. bastard.

For question nine, my second attempt I'll say Rugby Union. Dang I know I've heard of 'Challenge Stadium' somewhere..another....challenging question ha ha.

How is it a nope?
The questions was "What sport would you assosciate with Challenge Stadium in Perth? "

I would associate basketabll with it as the Perth Wildcats play their home games there.

2002 I think, this from auststadiums about Challenge:

This internationally renowned stadium, in the leafy western suburbs of Perth has been a part of Perth sport for decades, with the likes of James Crawford, Andrew Vlahov and Ricky Grace pounding the court or the very beginning of stars like Danny Green and Ian Thorpe this venue has been a home of champions. The compact yet large complex caters for a variety of sport with the Perth Wildcats Tenants for year 2002.

The outside pool is best remembered for the day Ian Thorpe started his rivalry with Grant Hackett in securing the 400m World Championship at the age of 15. This venue is constantly used with some 800,000 patrons a year, it is also the home of the WA Institute of Sports. The venue is used for a variety of sport including, swimming, basketball, netball, and waterpolo.


I'm assuming the other sport youre talking about is netball but they'd be only minor tennants comapred to the Wildcats. Swimming/Water Polo/Diving wouldn't even be in the equation IMHO as despite having an indoor pool all the big events have been held in the outdoor pool.

Would Allen Jackovich be one of the answers to number 1? IIRC in his first season at Melbourne he kicked the quickest 50 goals in AFL/VFL history.
