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! 🧐

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. 😁

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
