Hey Tim, while this is right up my alley, I’m not doing as well as you clearly are post-booster shot. I just wish I had the number plate of the truck that slammed into me. 😭

13. Tony Martyn

@mo64, et al, perhaps a better(?) clue for 19 might have been 'Catchcry for wicketkeeper Maddocks'!?

Besides, it looks so hard! I reckon I’d struggle even if in perfect health. I doff my hat (my Demons Premiers cap, that is) to the guys who are currently killing it. Three of the best, right there.

Jeremy Howe? How is he?

I've missed the Spoonerism.

Nice 'straight cryptic' try, mo, but 'fraid not again.

He played with another of the same surname, but they weren't brothers.

In that case, it might just be Glenn Lovett (Len, Glove it).

Oh, Len Glove It. Glenn Lovett.

Just beat me to it Stone.

No. 6 is Brayden Preuss. Batman's hit on creep. Preyed On Bruce.

Is 10. Clay Sampson. Get another gaoler. Say Clamps On.

Loving your thinking and creativity, @mo64, but no chocolates with 6 and 10. However, I am calling a tie for you on Glenn L, between you and @Demonstone

10 Wayne Gordon

13 Rod Owen?

14 Peter Moore?

6 Sam Blease?

(going from most certain to most tenuous)

and I'm sure Bayley Fritsch must get a gig but I can't quite see where ...

Big ticks for 6, 10 and 14, Mazer. Streeting the field!

However, you get the ' 'fraid not ' this time, for 13; and as you see, previous recipient @mo64 has nailed that one. Creative though - Odd rowan!

And, yes, The Magnet is selected...

So, I think were down to:
2. 'Heel, [censored]!'

4. 'Hay, gathered by May'

9. 'Banjo-strummy strumpet?'

11. 'Lament blemish'

Remember, the [censored] was a homophone of 'Prymke without me'

You all have too much time on your hands!

It's a fair cop. I done it.

OK, my brain has recovered, and I'm going again.

2. Brad Campbell. Heel (Cad) P#@*k (Bramble)

11. Dean Kent. Lament (keen) Blemish (dent)

Well done brain again! Got 'em both!

And now, I think, only a dodgy synonym and an uncertain homophone - in an  'Immortal' and a 'Who?...' respectively - need centre clearance and final shots at goal!

(No clues in that last bit. Just wanted to keep the footy going😁)

The reveal after the women win...

4. 1978 3-gamer MICK REA - 'Hay, gathered' = 'rick' / 'May' > Mea (as in O'Dea, I hope!) 

9. New Immortal BAYLEY FRITSCH (you were there @Mazer Rackham!) - 'Banjo-strummy' = 'fraily' / 'strumpet' is the dodgy synonym for female canine...)

Thanks for playing, @Mazer Rackham Gold, @mo64 Silver, and @Demonstone Bronze. Hope you're better, @WalkingCivilWar, and thanks for watching, @Fanatique Demon

Contemplating a cricket one. Tell me I shouldn't!...

Love your work Tim. Would never have got the 2 above.

Bring on the cricket version!!!!
