1996 AFL Grand Final Waltzing Matilda

[@ohhgeebeerock]

I love how the crowd started to react as soon as Slim Dusty's vocal came on. An absolute icon!

[@christinahitchiner7728]

From Britain A Fully Roger That. DUSTY is a legend, he is a Father of Australia xx

[@traviscarlson6718]

Love How the Crowd cheerd and Clapped When John Farnham Sang Absolutely an Australian Icon Aswell

[@loganratley6704]

@J G And your point being? This is about the music.

[@tracybeskin-clark3729]

I could feel my heart grow with pride watching this! This is how Aussie sports should be! Uniting us all as ONE rather than using politics to divide us, as we see now. :-(

[@blinkingatthesun123]

Among us

[@chillies4156]

⁠​⁠@JG-bw6lucompletely irrelevant and also you are comparing 4 states in a country to 240 countries. Now shut up.

[@Kaityj85]

I was in the children’s choir who sang as part this 100 season’s of AFL celebration. Best experience of my life ❤

[@dalekundtz760]

Thank you for this awesome rendition by so many stars. I may be from Illinois in the USA, but remember my mom singing this song to me when I was a child. Loved the song years ago and even more today.

Cahir allen was in faugheen 24? Met Queensland family!!Guinness??

[@bobjanetmart506]

What a world-class performance. Makes me very proud to be an Australian.

[@worldclasswillian6735]

Gee, Pauline Hanson really could sing back in the day

[@mikedooly7288]

I always thought this should be the Australian national anthem. It sums up the national attitude. Great people.

[@Getsumsimm]

I am a 30 year old from Ethiopia who came to Australia at 2 years old. I went to primary school in Lakemba which in those days wasn’t as Islamic as it is today and had a lot of Greeks and Italians. I remember all students proudly learning this song and the National Anthem and knowing it off by heart. In a single generation the national anthem and Aussie patriotism is no longer taught in schools. What on Earth happened to this great country and why is being proud of Australia taboo now?

[@atriox7221]

I see exactly what you mean, I’d honestly join a movement to have our government replaced if that’s what it took to fix things, even if that movement was more of an armed rebellion, or international peaceful protests. However it’s done this should be made out anthem, Australian history and patriotism should be taught above the history and cultures of any other place, our government should have a spine and the same dream of an ever improving and ambitious Australia as the people, we should be more independent of other nations and put work into fixing more of the damage our species has done on the continent for the sake of far off generations. Hopefully an Australia is formed that does better for people and country then it ever did in the past, even if such a thing is a yet another generation from becoming a reality

[@blickluke]

National pride in the West whether about their history or culture is viewed as something only lowbrow racists, usually the crude lower and working classes have. It's uncouth and cringey, there's nothing but racism, sexism, imperialism, colonialism, bigotry, oppression in the nations past that guilt ridden self punishment and the want to erase, forget, move on from their own history and culture into a new, advertising friendly, global metropolitan-citizen style of culture is pushed. It's the culture of the elites in politics, media, banking, big business, wall Street etc, it's what they were taught in college and university and now they're in the real world, or those already in the real world adopted the new hip cool worldview

[@pommac3612]

We have the same problem in Sweden😢

[@francotanchis6992]

Abbiamo lo stesso problema in Italia ed in Europa!

[@deadfarang]

I remember learning this in primary school and still remember it word for word, but can't remember the teachers name that taught us the lyrics.

[@atriox7221]

It’s also must more memorable and emotional and patriotic feeling then the anthem

[@user-allanH]

🤣

[@imdead.imaghostletstalk.8261]

@J G why? Just why.. I’m a fan of soccer but it’s just not the right video dip shit

[@lifeisimportantkate]

Me too I learned it very young and I am in my sixties now. Anytime I hear it, it brings back fond memories.

[@Meszlenyi]

@J G The soccer is shit. The real ball is egg shaped (except in the gaelic football)!

[@PFKMan23]

This is an awesome rendition of the song.

[@Adam-XL]

2:24 Normie Rowe flubbing his lines like a dingbat, giving the game away that everyone is miming, and getting a death stare from John Farnham is surely one of Australian sports finest moments

[@blokebeershed7651]

Watching slim through this whole performance just showed how passionate he was for music. Uppa slim, True australian icon🤙

[@javiercalizaya7649]

Que emoción me llega al corazón y mi mente ,al escuchar esta canción, y la escuché por primera vez en los jjoo de sydney 2000 ,amo y quiero de corazón a Australia muchos recuerdos vienen a mi mente y nostalgia desde que se celebraron los juegos del nuevo milenio sydney 2000, viva Australia....

[@javiercalizaya7649]

Nuevamente reviví la apertura de los jjoo Sydney australia,no me canso de ver lo maravilloso que se ve el stadio ANZ lleno de espectadores y escuchar el himno de australia.. su melodía llena mi mente y mi corazón , espero algún día que mi sueño se convierta en realidad visitar Sydney, conocer gente nueva i love Sydney

[@sacpac8480]

Hey Hey it's Saturday was on the telly, John Howard was prime minister, the footy was rough tough and great to watch and we all truly believed Australia was the best country in the world. What an era in Australian history that was.

[@xxxtakaji-kaixxx9016]

These ppl who sing the waltzing Matilda They Would probably be crying rn when there watching this when they were young

[@tyejoyce2226]

Gosh. What a time. When the AFL grand final was ambitious.

[@janheinbokel3969]

Through Tears I enjoy this from deepest heart

[@jasegonebush1883]

Remember when everyone was proud to be a Australian 🇦🇺 Im still bloody proud and this made me think what has happened to people

[@davidtrindle6473]

I’m American not Australian, but Scots Irish as many Aussies. I’m an old man. My father used to sing it. I cry when I hear it. ❤️

[@homerwillis4817]

That same crowd is trying to turn young people off from loving this country as founded. They are the open border and the world government crowd.

[@venderstrat]

Don't lose faith. Still plenty of proud Aussies out there.

[@blakebird9554]

2019 surely spine tingling to be Australian

[@GangreneBallbag]

we are not gonna have another grand final show like this that's for sure!

[@MrMagicmatt05]

Lindsay Field and Lisa Edwards. Two of Australia’s most underrated voices.

[@rosestanley9606]

RIP Slim Dusty

[@rossbrumby1957]

There's nothing more patriotic a feeling for an Aussie than to see Slim Dusty and Barry Mackenzie on stage singing Waltzing Matilda. Unless I would get to see Slim Dusty, Barry Mackenzie and Sir Les Patterson singing Waltzing Matilda.

[@richardgates6241]

This is peak civilisation. Goosebumps galore

[@neilflint285]

I was taught this song at primary school in the UK. I'm 42 now and find myself singing it to my dog Matilda

[@EdwardKelly-vi9sg]

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY 100% SPOT ON....❤️

[@giulianocerovaz5489]

I was born in Adelaide south Australia and I ❤ Australia, but alive in Italy city Trieste

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

Someone should start a petition to make this our national anthem

[@nathangasti399]

I wish Americans loved anything as much as Australians love this song

[@lucyxx5895]

This was brilliant. Daryl and Farnsie 😍

[@58joana]

I don't remember how I learned this song! I live in Portugal and never been in Australia. But that is quite a song!

[@simonwilliamnoelmurray9179]

Should be the national anthem!

[@dvchel]

True. But for now the “unofficial” national anthem.🎼🇦🇺

[@maxipazz8214]

When I see this incredible arrray of Australian talent I just think why do they always get overseas big names to sing every year at this great Australian event nowadays

[@user-allanH]

Fantastic!!!

[@blokebeershed7651]

Although I would've loved to see slim sing the whole song acoustic👌

[@venderstrat]

Didn't realise Dazza could sing so well.

[@michaelkortez4936]

My Gosh I'm jealous of anyone who got to witness this! I wasn't even thought of😅

[@hwyfan]

What are the musical backgrounds (musical genre) of the various performers?

[@robzap19nintendosteampictures]

Did they lead the National Anthem with it as well?

[@homerwillis4817]

We must help the Austrians with their fight with the Chinese.

[@atriox7221]

Can you help us with our own government first, the population and leadership of Australia is nothing of its former self, if support for a remodelled government was possible it would be appreciated, then setting eyes on standing up to China proudly with anyone internationally who would join us

[@doughoward6401]

The American Marines are there and stand ready to defend !!! I was one and still stand ready at 70 . Besides , I have a bit of a selfish reason. My so and grandson are there .

[@homerwillis4817]

Miss spelled Australia. I was in the Marine Reserves from 1963 to 1968. Boot camp changed my life for the better.

What the fuck are the odds anyone is still watching this like 4 years after upload lmaoo

It was pre recorded, it's hard to get good acoustics in a stadium live

[@maxipazz8214]

How inappropriate but typically colonial that the aboriginal lady opera singer didn’t get a solo

[@atriox7221]

Calm down, not everyone’s gonna get a solo part, it’s not just the one aboriginal, stop searching for racism were there isn’t any and target the places where it can legitimately be found please

[@jecarlin]

I thought the same thing, but considering this performance, I completely understand why she didn't get a solo.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJmzkoiHjammm9k

No need to tell us bro, we could tell you’re not Aussie

[@jondunmore4268]

2:25 -- Slim Dusty almost gave it away, with his voice strangely not matching his mouth movements, but this fool totally gave the game away by forgetting the words - he gave away that all the vocals are pre-recorded.
