As a Geelong supporter, I have unconditional respect for anyone who still identifies with Fitzroy’s purity and sense of pride. A club battered & bruised, but proud as any other club.
Brisbane should play a home game in Melbourne for historic reasons
@MANCHESTER UNITED manchester united suck!
@MANCHESTER UNITED
Mate not everyone has to be a soccer fan. Us Aussies are allowed to follow the real Australian game invented in Australia and a massive part of Australian culture, we don’t have to follow, need or want soccer
@@zaco21_ I heartily agree with you on this subject, friend.
Besides, soccer players are just a bunch of flimsy actors anyway that dive, fake injuries and pretend they've been shot to get free kicks and opposition players carded. The 4 billion people that have jumped on board the soccer bandwagon is because they're too scared of contact sport.
Aussie rules, regardless of popularity, is the best sport in the world and is a real man's game played by men that show no fear and actually play the game, and can actually handle contact, injuries and real tackles
“in defeat, we’ll always try'
Best line I've heard in all the footy songs I have listened to.
It's ironic cause when I was a kid they would fold like a lounge chair.
A prophetic truth ... a tragic history .. a punching bag for so long
As a Jack Irish tv series fan, I adore this song!
@@dlminflorida9406 I can't say that I'm familiar with the series - however, you've piqued my curiosity; I shall look this up - thank you.
Fitzroy, along with rugby league's Newtown and Norths, will never be forgotten. Such grand old Australian sporting clubs gone due to commercialism. So sad
Rest in Peace Fitzroy🦁🏉😢😪
(1883-1996)
Although we didnt win often some of my fondest memories as a kid was belting out this tune with my family after a win.
@J G i will shove a red card so far up your rear, that you'll be spitting red cards instead of copy and paste ‘soccer is better because it's more popular’ crap.
@J G stfu btw nobody likes man utd
@J G let the man grieve in peace
Always love Fitzroy. From a Blues fan.
@JG-bw6luUm actually AFL is the biggest sport in Australia 🤓☝️
"Win or lose,we do or die!
In defeat,we always try!"
I love that
As an Essendon supporter, I really respect Fitzroy and the Brisbane lions. This has to be one of the greatest afl songs
I am a Richmond supporter but I do miss Fitzroy. I like the area itself and I have been up to old Brunswick Street Oval. Its crazy to think back in the old days they would get 20-30K to a match there, where did they all fit?. Its good to see Fitzroy still continue in the lower league's but it isn't the same.
So sad they are gone, like our old Norths and Newtown sides. Fitzroy and Newtown were much alike, battlers who were eventually kicked out. Two great courageous Aussie Sports clubs. Long live Fitzroy and Newtown
This is for all of those who played for, coached and barracked the beloved Fitzroy - including "Superboot" Bernie Quinlan, "Leaping" Leon Harris and Mick Conlan.
Go Roy Boys!
The most pure Fitzroy line in this song is “in defeat, we’ll always try”.
It’s beautiful, every other song is singing about how easy they will win the flag every year.
This is the only club song that ever mentioned defeat except for the old Footscray song and it’s beautiful, part of the game and sums up the character of those clubs.
@J G just leave AFL videos alone
As an Bears fan from Brisbane, I will always have great respect for the Fitzroy Lions in the VAFA and the heritage that the Brisbane Lions now have. I will go to The Royal Derby Hotel in Fitzroy, VIC to pay respects to past players and champions of the club!
My family played for, supported and lived in Fitzroy, have got some wonderful old memories of that club....miss em.
25 years ago today we played our last ever game.cmon royboys
Sad
Um correction 25 mill fans love this amazing aussie sport
@J G soccer is a game for men with vaginas
@J G Geez I bet you're fun at parties.
@@andrewmurphy7401 its a bot they spam it everywhere
I'm a Dees man but still.... RIP Fitzroy, gone but never forgotten.
This Club is the reason we can't let any other club go, it's always heartbreaking.
Fitzroy is gone so no other club can face the same fate.
As a follower of footy from the U.S., I agree with you one hundred percent, David - I'm one for the Dons, myself, and it does bother me that the Roy Boys are gone; I never want to see another club in the AFL suffer this same fate. Go Roy Boys!
I still believe the AFL should of helped Fitzroy and not let them fade away. Really bad from the AFL. Go Tigers. R.I.P Fitzroy FC
My same sentiments as a Richmond supporter, well said! Would've been awesome if they were still in the competition!
@@F50Aircraft they literally couldn't
@@Podgorski37 why couldn't they?
I'll always remain a Roy Boy.
Good team while it lasted. Also had a great team song.
@@bearmarco1944 My friend, the Fitzroy club song is based on the melody of "La Marselliase", the French National Anthem. Not a bad song at all!
@@MegaJustGeorge I am aware. Very good song, that.
A million times better than the Brisbane Lions song.
A.J. Meyer Yes I wholeheartedly agree.
A.J. Meyer They should’ve just used this and just changed the words from Fitzroy to Brisbane. Like the old South Melbourne did when they moved to Sydney.
A.J. Meyer Actually 20099875567777544 times better
Brisbane is better but Fitzroy is soo good
so true
This song makes me so happy
Love the RoyBoys wish they were still here ❤️💙🦁
I have supported St Kilda since 1966 but always think fondly of Fitzroy.
I named my son after Hadyn Bunton ( the greatest ever player)? and pet dog Fitz (after Fitzroy). Royboys, gone but never forgotten
Flew from Brisbane to experience Brunswick Street Oval. To see where it all began and the old grandstand. Reading the history of the “Maroons” and the crowd of 34,765 in 1923 as the grounds biggest attendance. I’m a proud Brisbane supporter and I’m honoured to have Fitzroy living on with us. 🦁
Brisbane shouldn’t have changed this song. This is heaps better
I miss fitzroy
1883-1996 RIP
Came to know this song by watching Jack Irish movies and tv series on Acorn TV. The Guy Pearce character roots for Fitzroy and had a dad who played for them. I love the song and the series.
I’m a Blues supporter but what happened to Fitzroy was an absolute disgrace. I hope we never see this happen again. The pain felt by Fitzroy supporters would’ve been unimaginable..
Again, needs to be played once at least during a heritage round in Melbourne. And another year, the Bears song at the Gabba.
How could Fitzroy not be here still 😢
Miss the Fitzroy Lions. Go Roys !! 🦁
you miss them because it was a free win most of the time lol
@@alexjones9038 I was actually a Fitzroy supporter before the Crows entered the AFL.
Even as a young kid, I could see the AFL were desperate to kill off the Fitzroy Football Club.
@@dawudtuckwell4516 yeah fair enough, at least they aren't completely forgotten, still live through brisbane
As a crows supporter Brisbane should use this song to surprise their fans
I’m a lifelong posthumous Fitzroy fan.
It was very sad when Fitzroy had folded and merged with Brisbane Bears to become Brisbane lions. Fitzroy Lions will live with our memories for the rest of our lives.
Bring back memories of my dad, he was a Fitzroy boy!
I been supporting Fitzroy lion back in late 1980.s
Always pay my respects to Fitzroy(from a cats fan)
This is the best Afl team song
RIP Fitzroy
What a song carn roys
Hate to break it to you bud, they’ve gone rather quiet since...you know.......they lost their club
@@samalvarez7177 I'm 100% certain Declan realizes that! Nothing wrong to still support a club that is no longer in the competition. My next door neighbours still support Fitzroy not Brisbane, which is totally understandable.
Best song by far. Sad they had to go ☹️
WOW, like the lions. Old, old Fitzroy “we are the boys from old Fitzroy town”
Miss the Roys
Well done fitzroy
Best Club song ever
Dear God, please take GWS and Gold Coast and bring back Fitzroy
No the reason why Fitzroy was kicked from the AFL is because they had no money to pay their players
Clayton Nelson just a joke mate
@@tsavaridisarchives yea I know
Not GWS, take Collingwood instead.
GO FITZROY
Mate not everyone has to be a soccer fan. Us Aussies are allowed to follow the real Australian game invented in Australia and a massive part of Australian culture, we don’t have to follow, need or want soccer
Soccer players are pussies that fake injuries and dive to get free kicks rather than playing the game < Aussie rules is a real man's sport played by men that aren't scared of being hurt, and can handle real tackles whilst actually playing the game
MANCHESTER UNITED:
You need to stop harassing our great sport or else
Trainco16 Here we go again. The old “soccer is for pussies” excuse. Football (yes I call it football) players suffer very horrific injuries too (ankles, Anterior, Medial & Posterior Cruciate, Ligaments, shins, shoulder & concussion to name a few) playing the sport, like any Aussie rules player would. The risk of obtaining an injury of that caliber is incredibly high so that shows the players mustn’t be “pussies” in order to want to go out on the field to play, which automatic disproves your argument once and for all. You’re gonna have to find a better argument than “soccer is for pussies”.
@@Boroman9 maybe, but I'm not someone to spam the same comment on every single video of a certain sport saying that another sport is better. Because that's what this Man United guy does on every AFL video. Personally I don't mind soccer, it's alright, I guess, but I don't go and spam comments saying 'AFL is better' on every soccer video
With all the teams in Victoria I guess.this means for the time being Fitzroy is back!
Playing a historic game for one round in the AFL would be nice. Everyone wears their old uniforms, and, if they renamed, plays as their old teams. You could split Brissy into Fitzy and Bears, but you could also just make it Fitzy OR Bears. Might change it around every year.
Also gives Freo a chance to show off that they were the only team with green on their guernseys.
@@bearmarco1944 They used to have it, but everyone saw it as a gimmick. it would be way too hard for some teams too. Port don’t have much to wear outside of the prison bars which they can’t wear, Carlton have had the same guernsey for over 100 years, and the Suns and Giants would have nothing to wear.
@@thinhnonyt Historical roubd can have those teams use their old AFL teams. Carlton stays there, Giants and Suns can use their old uniforms (they have made one edit each), and Port can use their leaf or lightning.
I don't care what anyone says, Fitzroy is SO MUCH better than modern-day Brisbane!
What do you mean?
Stats: Top of the table
or
Team: yeah ur right there
or
Overall Success: yeah ur right there
BigSlaz 11 I don’t deny that, but in terms of history, it is sad when you consider how long a team was in the comp for and then can just merge.
Oh okay 👌:)
Thanks for the quick response!
@@bigslaz1199 No probs!
@@hmvsport7371 Sadly, it's a question on their bad financial management. Total shame that they got into lots of debt.
Bring back the Roy boys
My sentiments exactly, Daniel.
Your name, if I may ask - are you any relation to Tony Buhagiar, as it were? Please confirm.
@@MegaJustGeorge no I'm not unfortunately. I get that all the time though haha
I haven't got the slightest interest in football or the AFL. I was forced to play it at school and had no choice about it at all. However, this old team's demise makes me a bit sentimental. Miss the way Melbourne used to be.
this has to be the best afl/vfl club song and im going to collingwood and essendon lets hope the pies win, + great video
Yeah let's hope we get the win as well.
too bad jordan de goey is a druggo
cody bibby That was a few months ago, but I don't think he is anymore.
Yeah. I think he learned his lesson.
imagine if the brisbane lions kept their theme song like this but with only a few obvious changes like substitute fitzroy with brisbane and change "wear the colors maroon and blue" to "wear the maroon gold and blue" and change "and we'll always see it through" with "like fitzroy and bears of old" like the current version but with this tune
like this:
We are the boys from ol' Brisbane
We wear maroon, gold & blue;
We will always fight for victory,
Like Fitzroy, and Bears of old.
Win or lose, we do or die
In defeat, we'll always try
Brisbane, Brisbane,
The club we hold so dear,
Premiers, we'll be this year!
This is our club song
The French Lions
When Brisbane next win the grand final they should play this after the Brisbane lions song
Too right mate 👍
@@Rob-fc9wg we will have it on Saturday
Nice song
We’re do you get these old songs from
Were
@@Yes-is7fm Where
I like new song but good video
So when the bears and lions combined they kept the lions theme song but change the lyrics
Carn the Roys ❤️💛💙
Holbrook Brookers 💚💛🏆🏆 2022
#BringBackFitzroy
I hope if Brisbane win this Saturday they play this song. So much better
I like filter
I wonder if the French people mistake this song with there national anthem because it is the same tune
Why can’t they just keep this tune? Brisbane’s song really looks like french national anthem
Well, my friend - when I first this song in 1986, I thought that it sounded very much like the French national anthem, "La Marsellies".
This is just more original
As a Lions supporter, my son missed the bears since their merger in 1996
They should take out Gold Coast and GWS, and replace them with Tasmania and Fitzroy. #BringBackTheRoys
Cringe
@@Podgorski37 how
@@maynardszn take out two teams that are properly used for expansion just because people want an old dead team back
@@Podgorski37 at this stage, they have been useless, especially Gold Coast. By this point in time, port Adelaide had played in 2 grand finals, winning one of them. These teams are in places where no one cares about football, even with the Swans in Sydney and the lions in qld. In Tasmania, there is a much better football culture for sure, and putting a team there would be much more worthwhile
@@maynardszn if you knew anything of what you were talking about, you would know QLD took very kindly to having an AFL team and it's growing rapidly there, same in Canberra,
Greg Champion was right
Disgusting what the AFL did to this club in the 90s… small minds… should have merged with North or kept them on as an independent club.
better than lions but not the cats
Board of linish disrespectful or the French
I miss Fitzroy lions I hate Brisbane lions
Didnt Fitzroy miss out on $4 million when the rights to VFL park was sold?
