I feel like I've been hoisted by my own Ricky Petterd here as I haven't a clue what the answer is.

Kudos to Timothy.  If Mazer has won the gold medal, I'd be lucky to earn rusty tin.

At risk of treading on TR-A'B's toes, here's a clue: TR-A'B has already given a clue.

Tread away, Mazer! We'll get that Tin medal awarded yet!

Not just a clue, unless you had a particular one in mind, Mazer; at last count I think it's four. Am I pushing the boundaries there do you think, Mazer?

There's been a couple of half chances, too...

The "sir" has got nothing to do with it.

The recent clues provided by TR-A'B have been absolute long hops.

its got to be something about cricket

Yes, because he mentions “slips” and “half chances.”

If it’s not cricket-related, I think it’s number-related. I reckon 22 of a squad of 33 is a clue, as is his comment to Mazer about “last count it was four.” ?

Methinks this is also a clue (?)

NOW you're all talking! (though nothing mathematical, I'm afraid, WCW) Coming from behind, dare I say!

It's another cricket reference.  A long hop is a delivery that is short, slow and doesn't rise very high and which is easy pickings for the batsman - fruit for the sideboard, as the saying goes.

I've come up with two possible answers to this pearler of a mindbender with all these cricket clues.

1.  All the players named were cross-dressers and were caught in slips.

2.  Because of their footy fame, they had no trouble bowling a maiden over.

All listed were only good enough to play in the Third XI's at their school?

Quite possibly. The cryptic group, however...

Remember, Sir demonstone's team weren't drummers themselves (at least notably)...

Yaaaaayyyyyyyy!

I had just drafted the following:

"I'm going to be the most hated poster on D-Land - to you select few - when this is finally over. But like the answer, I'll be well padded up for the rockets coming through to me!"

So glad it was you who got the Tin* you'd thought was lost to you, sir! Be gentle with me, all you others!

(*In the absence of success elsewhere, I had awarded Mazer the Medal box set?)

I’m putting my 20 cent piece on the edge of the billiard table, so to speak. I have a team lined up.

@Timothy Reddan-A'Blew - was the 33 indicative of how many keepers there have been for Australia?

Are they all snooker players? Hurricane Harmes? Fast Teddy Fidge?

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
