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.

    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. 😁

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
