Update: A fun one, and despite what some others have said, I at least found it difficult!:

Report on your findings here (but no spoilers until Monday).

Update: An interesting theme:

Hopefully I resist the temptation to sneak a peek at the DA during the festivities, although I also hope that the DA will be so good that I can’t resist the temptation.

Update: And here it is:

Greakster is upon us, and maybe it’s this week, the real Easter weekend, that DA brings us a bunny-related crossword (etymological treat for the day: Easter comes from Ēostre, a female pagan goddess whose festival was celebrated around and about, and from whom words such as oestrogen also derive).

To make things even more happily coincidental: the Tigers will probably win this weekend.

Update: The Tigers did indeed win, as did most of us DA Trippers it seems:

Is GLIMPSE the finest hidden clue in a very long while?

Some very easy definitions to get you going, and then the trickiness. KNIFED was a bit harsh, I thought, as was ILL.

No matter: we had LOO and GLIMPSE and GALAH.

Report about bunny rabbits and DAs here.

Update: Not one for the childless:

The charms of this one were lost on me — although I did enjoy ESCHER.

Yes, the AFL is back, and so is DA.

Update: Took me a while before getting going:

Talk about it here (but without spoilers until Monday).

Update: I feel like I’m losing my DA mojo — he seems to keep getting harder to me:

It’s a big ask, but a fun one.

Report on your DA experiences here.

Update: A tough one I thought:
