* 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!'

    Hitting boundaries @Demonstone! (0.1 of a mark off for 'Done Jeans', though: it's 'Jean Dones'😁)

    Ten to go.

    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. 😄

    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. 😆

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
