Loved hearing this in the 80s early midnight 80s on ESPN the song has been stuck in my head as an American kid since back then I remember watching it late nights staying over at my dad's house and his millworker and logger buddies would come in and I'd be watching that on ESPN and maybe like what the f*** are you watching unlocking the little goal line officials when they what do that point signal put in their hands down

One of my all time favorites of footy songs. Brian in Kansas USA.

You can tell a good person by the way they treat an animal, and Bruce Doull seems a right gent.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

I agree, friend - Bruce Doull was a decent fellow, rather soft spoken, and he was kind to that dog.

Love it. Footy when it was at its zenith!

[@MisterPolitical1]

Zenith means better days

[@MegaJustGeorge]

This is footy when we still had Windy Hill, Princes Park, Victoria Park, Arden Street and Fitzroy. Thank you.

[@JohnRRoe2]

Don't the Western (Whitten) Oval too!!!!

[@thedys70]

But we won't mention moorrabin, which was infested with the lowest football dregs and scum the pond could regurgitate

When there's footy @ the g & docklands dome aka marvel it's bull...t because there's more footy @ the cbd & it's a greedy joke

Don't forget Lakeside! BloodRed.

@@JohnRRoe2 Thanks for reminding me, John.

I do like seeing saussage rolls being kicked on a Sat'dee arvo.

[@MisterPolitical1]

This is a real classic afl tune

[@MegaJustGeorge]

How very true, Paul - from a simpler, happier time, when we were still the VFL, and when we still had those great suburban footy grounds. Not to mention when were were still based almost entirely in Melbourne, not to mention we still had the Roy Boys.

I remember seeing it on KZbin somewhere but now I can’t find it. I’ll dig through my playlist of football songs and see if it’s there

@@MisterPolitical1 he’s so damn annoying. Who cares if soccer is popular in 240 countries? Part of what makes AFL special it that it’s unique to Australia. It’s arguably far more exciting and requires more skills than soccer does. Who would want to sit through a soccer game where the end score could be 0-0? Bloody boring if you ask me.
