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

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

    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!...

    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. 😁

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
