    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.

    Is the clue the use of the word Sir?

    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.

    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?

    All played cricket at a minimum level? As in, district?

    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?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
