If The Don* named an Australian Test cricket team...

* The Oxford Don Rev. WA Spooner, that is! As promised, Too-Much-Time-On-Your-Hands-Puzzle-Nerds😉

This team would be considerably more competitive than the VFL/AFL team he named. At least in the current series...

1. Swamp-ed Spanish fishing boat?     2. Crumbs?!     3. She pretends to go up the hill?     4. Tapestry shop?    5. Artist Ken's 'Denim Period'?     6. That man waits in line.     7. Rustle, saying, '______ ___  stones...'     8. Cheese off market?     9. Trick type.     10. Surround Shirley     11. Hay, gathered then cropped!     12th man. 10 marks for German?

I wish you the opposite of what William Archibald, quoting me, might appear to wish you: 'Crappy hacking!'

    With omicron, not beyond the realm of possibility. 😬

    Also hitting boundaries, @mo64! And generously rotating the strike 👍

    @WalkingCivilWar, you can have @Demonstone's forfeited 0.1 mark for your No.6

    At first glance, I thought No. 4 was Mitch Starc / Stitch Mart but that doesn't quite work.

    I'm afraid so.

    @mo64 has decided to score the odd mental run standing at the non-strikers end. He has this one

    Seems I’m having a touch of the Haseeb Hameeds right now. Ie, barely getting off the mark. 😄

    Mother of god these are hard! Maybe it’s just me (?)

    Nice one. Thieve / Sticks and Stones. I knew it was Steve, but could only think of Waugh and Smith.

    I actually thought it was gonna be the surname Dixon. I made an already hard puzzle even harder by providing my own red herring. 😆

    12th man = Terry Jenner (Jerry Tenner)?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
