Up There For Sydney - Sydney Swans 1980s/1990s song

Up there for Sydney,
In there and fight,
The spirit of Cazaly,
The red and the white,
Up there for Sydney,
Sydney come on,
High-flying, red-blooded, we're the Sydney Swans.
Things don't come that easy when it's one against the rest,
You have to show your courage when you want to be the best,
Cazaly's inspiration, cause winning do or die,
We're out to show Australia,
Now watch these big birds fly.
Up there for Sydney,
In there and fight,
The spirit of Cazaly,
The red and the white,
Up there for Sydney,
Sydney come on,
High-flying, red-blooded, we're the Sydney Swans.
Up there for Sydney,
In there and fight,
The spirit of Cazaly,
The red and the white,
Up there for Sydney,
Sydney come on,
High-flying, red-blooded, we're the Sydney Swans.
Up there for Sydney,
In there and fight,
The spirit of Cazaly,
The red and the white,
Up there for Sydney,
Sydney come on,
High-flying, red-blooded, we're the Sydney Swans.

I’m absolutely thrilled for Finals this year. The Swannies have stood strong against the other Top Sides. Destiny is within reach and this great tune will certainly be in my head the whole Finals run in 2022. LFG SWANNIES!! 🦢❤️🤍

[@LomuHabana]

Was not meant to, but this season, phew, I don’t know if the bloods can be stopped, although finals are stil, far away. Would love to see Sydney win ( if it isn’t ment for Carlton this season).

Watching this tonight, after the 2016 final...makes me really proud of the boys and all they have achieved, even if we didn't win it!

[@LomuHabana]

Agree, this song is great, Cheer, Cheer The Red and The White is the best club song since it is more “inclusive” and respects the heritage of the club, but this song should also be used, maybe as a goaltune or during the inter-quarter breaks. But I believe they do play it sometimes at 3quarter time.

[@utareangara5529]

Best club song ever😊😊😊

[@thesupplantor]

Nah... it was always 'cheer cheer the red and the white' officially. However, this song was actually played when the swans ran out onto the ground before the games in Sydney for a number of years. So I guess it was kinda 'official' for some time.

This is just awesome, be sick if they brought this back, is an entry song. But still, Cheer Cheer the Red and the White is still superior, although the new version isn’t as good as the one prior with how weird it sounds cleaned up.

[@harryeverett2152]

why was this song sung?

[@peterkehoe1984]

It was brought in the early 80's after the club relocated from South Melbourne to Sydney.

[@rickydumas9994]

First "expansion" franchise, carrying "aerial ping pong" into RL heartland. Both songs were adverts for the VFL.

[@tsavaridisarchives2]

Hey thesupplantor can you block collingwoodrules he's being quite rude.

[@DaMJfadeaway]

whose cazaly?

[@thesupplantor]

Ex-Swans/saints AFL player. Was made famous for a particular photograph where he's shown taking a one-handed mark/catch. When there was a marking opportunity, his teammate used to shout, "up there Cazaly." The phrase was used as a battle cry during WWII by Australian soldiers. Cazaly has also been known to have given Hawthorn their 'hawks' nickname.
