Could Cleaver rely on Murray's side? (9)
I believe the answer is:
riverbank
'murray's side?' is the definition.
'riverbank' can be an answer for 'side?' (riverbank is a kind of side). I am not sure about the 'murray's' bit.
'could cleaver rely on' is the wordplay.
'could cleaver' becomes 'river' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rely' becomes 'bank'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'river'+'bank'='RIVERBANK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for riverbank that I've seen before include "where our Parliament stands" , "where those rowing may end up" , "home of the vole" .)
