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. 😁

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
