* 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.

    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)?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
