What was all that in the goal square. Yuck! Back to 'your game' girls!

Yes. Little bit of blazing away there - credit Dogs for better pressure. Expect Stinnear to be on top of that at 1/2 time - get back to 'our game'.

Knees. Don't like to see that in any team...

Go you "very vocal Melbourne crowd"!

'Possession game'. They're surprised? Almost implying skills aren't up to it. Well, they are now! (except, maybe, still, handballing? But can't have everything!🙂)

Spotting up targets and delivering very skillfully and educatedly

The reveal after the women win...

Didn't see the FTA. Thanks (to you also @58er) Remember Rocky crunching an opposition player in the first five minutes of the comp, v. Brisbane at Casey. It was going to be a serious comp!

Fox🙁 SW Gippsland to W Melb several bridges too far for me, so cheer 'em for me @DubDee et al. I'll hope to return the fave at Casey😁

And now, I think, only a dodgy synonym and an uncertain homophone - in an 'Immortal' and a 'Who?...' respectively - need centre clearance and final shots at goal! (No clues in that last bit. Just wanted to keep the footy going😁)

Well done brain again! Got 'em both!

It's a fair cop. I done it.

So, I think were down to: 2. 'Heel, [censored]!' 4. 'Hay, gathered by May' 9. 'Banjo-strummy strumpet?' 11. 'Lament blemish' Remember, the [censored] was a homophone of 'Prymke without me'

Big ticks for 6, 10 and 14, Mazer. Streeting the field! However, you get the ' 'fraid not ' this time, for 13; and as you see, previous recipient @mo64 has nailed that one. Creative though - Odd rowan! And, yes, The Magnet is selected...

I missed this, mo. Correct! 👏

Loving your thinking and creativity, @mo64, but no chocolates with 6 and 10. However, I am calling a tie for you on Glenn L, between you and @Demonstone

Nice 'straight cryptic' try, mo, but 'fraid not again. He played with another of the same surname, but they weren't brothers.

@mo64, et al, perhaps a better(?) clue for 19 might have been 'Catchcry for wicketkeeper Maddocks'!?

Are you there, @WalkingCivilWar?😉

Indeed it is! Hall. Pop. (Good)

Any other combatants out there? And @mo64, it's a 'no' to Lobby Loyde but the Maddocks is Len!

Will do, Ds! Very well done again, you, and @Mazer Rackham, particularly, and @mo64. And with only 3 competitors atm, you're all podium!

'Fraid not 😔 I see what you did there though. Nice! Cryptic hint: always be suspicious of punctuation!

On a roll!👏

That's it, Mr Stone! One of the easier ones, as no homophoning involved, and I guess the 200 games shrank the pot. Anyway, you're away!
