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.

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

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."

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
