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! 🧐

is no 2 Bruce Laird? (Loose Bread)

 

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. 😁

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
