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.

Kate's been working on a home base

It's been more than a year or two

We don't play home finals at Casey

Against the Cats or Roos

I guess patience is a virtue 

I got the straight sets red and blues

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

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."

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
