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 

    [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! 🤣

    I’m finding humour is the best form of combat.

    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: 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
