I like the Hermits Hermits ending there… perhaps segué into his Mersey Beat compatriots, Freddie and the Dreamers with How Do You Do What You Do To Me.

12 bar blues standard format.

    I was thinking of it more from a lyrical aspect rather than musical format.

    We don't play home finals at Casey

    Against the Cats or Roos

    More than that, most people have us missing the 8 entirely 

    [censored]. We're still top 4 material easily.

    I think it was Gerry and the Pacemakers who sang that one. Freddy’s biggest hit was I’m Telling You Now. As in, I’m telling you now… we won’t go out in straight sets in 2024!

    I thought so too until I did a bit of searching, and it seems How Do You Do… was a Freddie and the Dreamers number.

    Just checking that (Shows how much time I have on my hands.)

    (10 mins later)

    i can find multiple references to Gerry and the Pacemakers doing that song. It’s in their singles list, their greatest hits list and on YouTube.

    As for Freddie et al and that song… ziltch. Maybe he did a cover version that was released on an obscure LP.

    You’re absolutely correct, so please accept my apologies… but I will be having words with my oncologist about the drug regime she currently has me on! 🤣

    And for a seamless transition into verse 3 :

    Dee girls are red

    Dee boys are blue

    Along came the finals

    And both teams shot through.

     

    You'd be forgiven for thinking it was from the same author poet

    "I got the straight set blues

    From my head to my shoes

    When the forwards fire a shot

    It's always there it is not

    Those straight set blues

    Those straight set blues.


    I've got those straight set blues

    Those old straight set blues

    Well you should see strong men quail

    Or just a Maynard fail

    Those straight set blues

    Those old straight set blues."

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
