[@mathewrenouf4380]

Oh my GOSH!! This song is a masterpiece!! I'm a New Zealander, have visited Aussie in Dec 2004, and I love Aussie, and this INCREDIBLE song!! I picture brothers in arms here, in a pub, just having a good time! And even as a Kiwi, this to me, this song, it's the GREATEST sports song - in the WORLD!! It had me in tears quite literally, and I AIN'T ashamed to say it! This song here, it is jam packed FULL of passion, pride, power and emotion!! Well done Mr Brady!! You deserve PLATINUM for this!! When I first heard this song from a mate of mine, it just was stuck in my head for days, not hours, but DAYS! And I didn't want it gone! Man, God Bless Australia!! And thank you Mr Mike Brady for your masterpiece here!! It is incredible!! All the best, from New Zealand!! 👍♥️🏆🏆

[@asterixdogmatix1073]

I'm a Kiwi too. I first heard this song watching a Jack Thompson football movie. I think it was about the Collingwood club. No doubt someone can confirm what the movie was.

[@adrianrickards27]

Such a classic song! Catchy tune too! Mike Brady definitely wrote a gem with this song!

[@markissboi3583]

Up there Cazaly - Roy Cazaly (13 January 1893 - 10 October 1963) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He also represented Victoria and Tasmania in interstate football, and after his retirement as a player, turned to coaching.

[@vk3jed]

Now there's a classic! Was a kid at the time, and used to have to 7" single of this song. Does anyone remember the variant that used to be shown occasionally at the start of the Saturday night replay? It started with Mike Brady singing on top of the scoreboard at VFL Park, if I recall, and opened with the words "There's a song that is sung through the length of the land..."

[@jasonrita]

this is another Mike Brady, channel 7 closing credits song “When Footy Ruled the World” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZbTZXWfjZiLaMksi=jQCLsQONR27VPDEB

[@ajwilsonny]

Still think Billy Picken’s mark is so under-rated, brilliant. And that’s coming from an Essendon supporter. God I miss real footy.

[@chadgilmore5046]

Footy was the best when it was VFL the fights weren't pulling each others jersey it was full on rumble in the jungle.

[@tobys_transport_videos]

This song, IIRC, was slightly re-worded to become the victory song for South Melbourne when they became the Sydney Swans.

I like the first line of this song "You work hard to make a living, but when the weekend comes around, you do whatever turns you on. Get out and clear your mind". "Me, I like football. There are a lot of games around, but when you line them up together, the footy wins hands-down". This is how footy should still be. These days, we have political issues, and the "outside world" encroaching on footy, when footy should be escapism, to forget the troubles of the week, and your biggest concern is how your team will play, and if they will win or lose. Keep the fun in football, and political correctness out of it.
