DA Puzzle of the Round (21)

Discover the world of David Astle here.

But first, can you solve this week’s puzzle?

This week suits master manipulatora. Changing the right letter per word, can you join the new combo to spell a current AFL player? DAM + INHALE, say, can be DAV + IDHALE = Hawthorn’s DAVID HALE. Along with David, these next eight players have something in common.

 

1. JET + SEX + BITE

2. DANCE + LEER + REST

3. LIKE + MUG + LANE

4. SHAM + SHAM + PEON

5. GAY + NET + CAMS

6. HURT + ZIP + PEST

7. BREAD + AND + BITE + CROWS

8. COURSE + DAY + DUMP + SKY

Last week’s question and answer:

What player in this week’s press owns a vowel-free surname of seven letters? And sifting the lists across the league, I dug up two prominent players – both hailing from SA originally – who brag all five vowels (and no extras) in their first and surnames combined. Name all three fellas.

Solution: 100-gamer Ben McGlynn (Swans), Michael Doughty (Crows), Angus Monfries (Bombers)
