* 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. 😄

    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. 😆

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
