Did anyone just see the legendary jimmy keays sing the legendary 'Do what you want to do' from Master's Apprentices wearing the Red and Blue scarf on Marngrook just now? He has supported the Dees since 1967. He followed the Red n blue Norwood team in S.A.

    Call me a pedant, but the song is actually called "It's because i love you" - a quick searchon YouTube will find several clips of him performing live with Russell Morris and Daryl Cotton, but no Marngrook clip up yet.

    Hard to disagree... add The Loved Ones, Wild Cherries, Purple Hearts, MPD, Mike Furber and the Bowery Boys, Little Gulliver, The Groove (best Sam & Dave covers ever) etc to that list.

    Yep, they're was a heap of them i liked, but, i was a radio music lover, so didn't know many groups names just the occasional song. i heard my older sisters stuff on Radio 3AK/3XY, & my dads stuff on 3UZ/3DB etc.

    I first saw the apprentices at the Biting Eye in Lt Bourke St in the mid sixties and even though they weren't bad and were very original the Twilights killed every one else on stage. When they were on at Opus on Sunday nights all the other bands on the bill that night would come out and watch, they were that good.

    I was lucky with an older sister, in some ways.

    I got to hear some good tunes from her 60's,,, & from my dads genres as well, Satchmo & big bands & just Pop, My name is Sue, how do you Do, now you Gonna Dye!!!

    In the year 2929, or, "Puff the magic Dragon". Just a great Era for Music,,, of all creative tastes.

    Yes, I Utubed Jimmy after watching MGrook and couldn't decide on the title, too hazed out to review your suggestion but I dip my lid to you. I was there in the 60's that's why i can't remember it. Really impressed with how lucid and together jimmy was post-performance, and how at-one he was with the Demons. He should be pushed up to the stratosphere;

    1. For being an A-Grade legend of the 60's;

    2. For wearing his heart on his sleeve for our colours.

    Actually, it was "In the year 2525" by Zagar & Evans...I remember it clearly because the first time I heard it was on 3UZ and the DJ (Ken Sparkes I think it was) said "I wonder if that is a prediction for our future" and immediately his comment finished, the house started to shake... we had an earth tremor.

    Forget the title numbers & they're not too far off beam.

    Neeld sings this to players at training: "What we're trying to get through ... it's a brave new world, we can all be cool."

    Craig: "Wars or hands of time will not destroy our dreams of days that are to come"

    Dunno what Davey & Sylvia are singing .... "a land of fairy tales and good things are all a child dreams all day ..."

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
