My boys play the game passionately and we love going to see the Bulldogs. Dont get me wrong, I love the Premier League, but it'll be a sad day when a sport like Soccer that isn't threatened by any other overpowers a true Aussie sport like the AFL.

"Up There Cazaly" is one of those songs that just gets you right there. For a life-long footy fan I'm sure it was quite the send off for him.

I remember back in '79 when this came out and I was a soldier in Townsville surrounded by men who played this strange game. I hailed from Queensland and never had much exposure to it. Well, the rest is history for me as one annual leave I went to Melbourne and spent time in Collingwood and was infected with the Black and White bug. Hearing this now gives me goosebumps and brings back very fond memories and God Bless Mike Brady. A well deserved honour.

I can't believe someone actually gave me a tumbs down on saying Trevor Barker is a legend... wow thats pretty sad. I am a Pies suporter myself but I loved watching Barker play when I was a kid. He used to come up to QLD to my club for a few years there and take part in presentations... he was an awesome guy and a fantastic player. There were a lot of heart broken fans around my club the day he passed away.

This song still makes me misty eyed. Cant wait for the footy to be back

I sang this at the Scout Jamboree in Dec 1979/ Jan 1980 at Perry Lakes Perth and there was over 30'000 people there.

Happy to say that this song was a significant part of my childhood nearly every Saturday watching the footy with my grandparents. The mighty Roy Cazaly

thanks for this post, this is the first single i ever bought. I didnt have a record player went to my friends place to play it. I was the only kid who played AFL (the aussie rules)at my school in Brisbane. Whilst this song was a hit all my friends ditched rugby league and played kick to kick trying to mark speccies. Great Memories. As a kid i barracked for Fitzroy as I used to play for Acacia Ridge which had the same jumper. I had the best of two worlds when brissie and fitzroy merged.

I'm a pom and feckin love Aussie Rules! We don't get to see much of it over here but when we do I'm glued to it - drives the Mrs wild - sat there on a Mon night (we get it three days late here) with me bottle of imported VB and curse the Lord why I wasn't born an Aussie :( I follow the Hawks cos, besides Fitzroy who are no longer, Hawthorn are the only name I remember from when me Dad used to do the VFL pools back in the 70s/80s during the soccer close-season.

Great comment Mate! It makes me appreciate growing up in Melbourne as an kid, and every Saturday when the competition was the VFL, we would go from one ground to another to watch the games, whether it be Hawthorn vs Essendon or St Kilda vs Footscray etc. That "one day in September" still resonates with me strongly, as the AFL Grand Final happens every year....

He built Melbourne my man.

ahhhh back when footy was footy, not like now days, look at a guys back and he gets a free. one HELL of a song too, pumps you up big time, should be sung at every grand final!!

Wow what a hit of nostalgia from primary school footy days!!

I’ve only just noticed that bit at 2:00 where the physio dude comes on to treat the injured player and whacks the other guy in the face. That’s SOOO awesome!!!! 😂

My Father, who died in 2021, loved his AFL His favourite team was Richmond. He was buried in Richmond colours and we let gold and black balloons go into the air after he was buried. So every Saturday for as long as I can remember, he would play this song as his anthem. You must be so proud of your Great Grandfather. Rest in peace Cazaly ❤❤

I love this song my friend always try’s to do these marks on me

what a mark by jezza in the 1970 grand final. peter knights, fantastic

Greatest footy song of all time in my opinion!!

1:58 = gold

VFL!!! nothing else needs to be said.

Awesome video awesome song 🎵

Absolute belter! Nostalgia +++

2nd biggest selling Australian single of all time (after Shaddap ya face) both great. Bring back the football of 30 years ago. Much better than the stop and start garbage of today

gosh I haven't heard this song in years

still a better song than most songs produced today.

Something like 25 years ago I watched this football movie, I'm sure it was The Club 1980, but not certain as I have only seen it one time and I was only 7. I (Think) the ending has a "Spectacular mark" frozen image and this song plays. That's what I can remember, at least. The only lyrics I could remember where "In there like light, up there and at them, show em your might" "Fight like the devil, you're out there to win" and with that tiny bit of information I found this song 15 years later. Most of the time I hate having a good memory, but this is one of the few when it did me a favor

I'm from a town called Tonbridge in England. This song used to play before our local football (soccer) team played their games. The day they stopped playing it a bit of Tonbridge's culture died. Great song.
