Demonstone

Both incorrect.

7. Ricky Petterd is correct. (Pet -Terd) All other answers given overnight incorrect. All questions are cryptic in style, some harder than others. Six down, other six to go.

Tapscott correct

Thanks for filling in the answers GOTO. Four down, eight to go. I won't be able to get back to this until tomorrow morning, but for the sake of getting through it, disregard the two question limit if you'd like to have a go at some others.

Sellar correct.

Not Vanders ... and what a first post for a life member, azazael!

Neither Stretch nor Strauss.

Armstrong correct.

Bail correct.

I presume you mean Q1, in which case you are correct. For some reason I can't edit my original post to include each correct answer.

We used to have a bit of fun with these a few years ago on the old Demonology. The answer to each cryptic clue is a Demons player from this century. Please limit yourself to TWO answers so as to give others a chance. The judge (ie. me) has the final say. Have at it cryptic fans.... 1. He was on a standard with Roger. Darren Jolly 2. More suited to another sport. Rohan Bail 3. Classic and/or type of player. David Rodan 4. Second rate Collingwood hack. Angus Brayshaw 5. Smack a head coach or another one? Luke Tapscott 6. Given stern directions to finish up. Jack Grimes 7. Our favourite umpire? Ricky Petterd 8. Weights program proved helpful. Steven Armstrong 9. Matches? Danger! Jack Fitzpatrick 10. Could have been another Rivers? Shannon Byrnes 11. Sounds like he was cool ... deep down. James Sellar 12. It was surprising to hear he was good. Michael Evans

I imagine he might go OK if he worked closely with McCartney.

No room for Sean Wight?

Bobby, let it go. For your sake and ours mate. It's over. Jack's gone.

Doesn't say anything about anyone but Kent.

Maybe Melbourne didn't want Schache.

In footballing terms, Francis was the dud brother to Mister Ed's all-time great.

For those who came in late, here is a summary of this thread so far . There's a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which may not even be there.

Aaron Francis (The Talking Mule) would satisfy both criteria.

I started following this mob in 1965. I'll take any sort of flag at all; it's the only thing left on my bucket list.

The only other name that springs to mind is Peter Crimmins in the 70s.

On that we can all agree!

Oh, you mean that Facebook rumour that was shown to be completely false?

Are you sure?
