My red herring was the saying. I kept thinking of Rolling Stones or Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones.

I see how "sticks and" equals Rixon, but how does "rustle" give you Steve?

 

🤷‍♀️ Maybe a case of premature celebration on our part.

 No. 4: Steve Waugh? Weave store

Tick! (though that was one played by mo standing at the non-strikers end, I'm afraid...)

I feel like no. 11 is Shane Warne because shorn can mean cropped. But I can’t figure in the Wayne part of it.

A non-striker getting a run on the board? That’s just not cricket! 🧐

That’s clever! I didn’t even consider bread. I was going down the path of crumbs! as in, an exclamation like darn it! Or shucks!

To 'reive' is (was...) to 'steal cattle'...

Apologies.

Late-night (early morning!) summary of the outfield catches:

1. Swamp-ed Spanish fishing boat? No-one yet (apart from 'reive', this one's the most esoteric, I guess...)

2. Crumbs?! @reynolds46

3. She pretends to go up the hill? @Demonstone

4. Tapestry shop? @mo64 (at the non-striker's end, and 0.1 to @WalkingCivilWar, not being aware of that)

5. Artist Ken's 'Denim Period'? @Demonstone(minus 0.1)

6. That man waits in line. @mo64(and 0.1 to @WalkingCivilWar)

7. Rustle, saying, '______ ___  stones...' @WalkingCivilWar

8. Cheese off market? @mo64

9. Trick type. @mo64

10. Surround Shirley @Demonstone

11. Hay, gathered then cropped! @WalkingCivilWar (and 0.1 to @Doggas front teeth for trying to help)

12th man. 10 marks for German? @reynolds46

Just the swashbuckling opener remains then!...


# 1 is one of the Marshs.

Rod,

Geoff,

Mitch,

Shaun

(I think??)

Edited by Salems Lot

The only swashbuckling openers I can think of are Keith Stackpole, Michael Slater and Matt Hayden. No Spoonerisms for Stacky, so it must be either Slick Mater or Hat Maiden. But I'm clueless as to the answer.

I thought by swashbuckling opener, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew meant he’s the first player on this list and not necessarily an opener in real life. 
Like @Salems Lot(above), I can’t veer away from it being a Marsh because of “swamp.”

All I can offer is Doug Bollinger. Bog for swamp, and the slimmest chance of there being in existence a Spanish boat called a Dullinger (stop laughing!)

Methinks this guy’s gonna end up carrying his bat. Unless of course Tim is kind enough to give us a clue (?)

We could say @Doggas front teethwas my runner (like back in the day). While the run is credited to me, he should get half a point, at the very least for not getting me run out. 😁

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
