    A little background on the "Up there Cazaly" saying: Roy Cazaly played 198 games between 1911-1927 for St Kilda and South Melbourne. He was a ruck who was famous for big marks. At South Melbourne a teammate, Fred Fleiter, would often yell "Up there, Cazaly" to get him to leap for the mark. The crowd soon took up the shout. The words entered the Australian lingo as a phrase of encouragement and was apparently also used as a battle cry by diggers in WWII. It fell somewhat out of use but became resurgent with Mike Brady's 1979 hit song, the unofficial anthem of Aussie Rules.

    The other great song that is played at every grand final for the AFL is a song called the Holy Grail that was first sung by the Aussie band Hunters and Collectors, that i think you should react to mate. Loving the channel and we are glad you are loving one of our sports.
    Up There Cazaly for me is about the pride and passion of the players and the fans of the sport.

    I'm a crows fan who went to the 97 and 98 grand finals with my Dad when i was 11 and 12. The emotion we shared together through those times and just being together for it is one of my cherished memories. He died relatively young last year unfortunately so those moments we shared are even more special. Long live the game.

    'Up there Cazaly' The AFL National Anthem

  • @kevinmaccallum336
    @kevinmaccallum336 3 роки тому

    For historical accuracy... the title 'Up There Cazaly' was used and so were some of the lyrics. One of my late relatives fought with the 9th Division in the north during the Battle of EL Alamein and sang the song during the vicious, loud and chaotic engagement with the Germans. General Montgomery paid notice to the forces in the north as "eating the enemy's guts out. " And subsequently drew Rommel's Panzer units north, allowing operation 'Supercharge' to break the enemy's back further south.
    The Australian fighting man always had enormous respect for the "blood thirsty Scots" whose battle discipline and fierceness was always found to be outstanding. Especially during WW1.
    I think historical accuracy is important.
    Thank you for your e-mail sir, a pleasant surprise. It is nice to have feedback. And you as a proud veteran... thank you for service.
    I merely served as a RAAF electronics technician, was not tough enough to be part of your brotherhood.

    For further historical accuracy you might like to watch a 'youtube' video... ROY CAZALY: The greatest player between the two World Wars (AFL).
    My great uncle Don went "over the top" on 2 occasions before, ironically, being shelled resting and having breakfast in the rear lines after a battle during WWI...
    When talking about your country men, he told me... "When adding the word 'Scotsman' to any military unit was similar to adding carbon to steel making the steel less brittle and so much tougher.
