Adelaide Football Club

(to the tune of the US Marines' Hymn)
We're the pride of South Australia
And we're known as the Adelaide Crows
We're courageous, stronger, faster
And respected by our foes
Admiration of the nation
Our determination shows
We're the pride of South Australia
We're the mighty Adelaide Crows
We give our best from coast to coast
Where the story will be told
As we fight the rugged battles
The flag will be our goal
Our skill and nerve will see us through
Our commitment ever grows
We're the pride of South Australia
We're the mighty Adelaide Crows

Brisbane Lions

(to the tune of the French national anthem La Marseillaise)
We are the pride of Brisbane town
We wear maroon, blue and gold
We will always fight for victory
Like Fitzroy, and Bears of old
All for one, and one for all
We will answer to the call
Go Lions, Brisbane Lions
We'll kick the winning score
You'll hear our mighty roar

Carlton Football Club

(to the tune of Lily of Laguna)
We are the Navy Blues
We are the old dark Navy Blues
We're the team that never lets you down
We're the only team old Carlton knows
With all the champions they like to send us
We'll keep our end up
And they will know that they've been playing
Against the famous old dark Blues

Collingwood Football Club

(to the tune of Goodbye Dolly Gray)
Good old Collingwood forever
We know how to play the game
Side by side we stick together
To uphold the Magpies name
Hear the barrackers a shouting
As all barrackers should
Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk
For the good old Collingwood

Essendon Football Club

(to the tune of Sunnyside Up)
See the Bombers fly up, up
To win the premiership flag
Our boys who play this grand old game
Are always striving for glory and fame
See the Bombers fly up, up
The other teams they don't fear
They all try their best
But they can't get near
As the Bombers fly up

Fremantle Football Club

(written by Ken Walther based in part on The Song of the Volga Boatmen, traditional arrangement Stravinsky)
Freo, heave ho!
Freo, heave ho!
Give 'em all the old
Freo, heave ho!
Freo, way to go!
Hit 'em real hard, send 'em down below
Oh Freo, give 'em the old heave ho
We are the Freo Dockers!
Freo, heave ho!
Freo, heave ho!
Give 'em all the old
Freo, heave ho!
We're the rollers
We're the rockers
We're the mighty Freo Dockers!
We're gonna roll 'em and we'll rock 'em
We're gonna send 'em to the bottom
And if they get up, we'll do it again
The Dockers stop at nothing
– nothing
Freo, way to go!
Hit 'em real hard, send 'em down below
Oh Freo, give 'em the old heave ho
We are the Freo Dockers!
Freo, heave ho!
Freo, heave ho!
Give 'em all the old
Freo, heave ho!
Dock dock Dockers
Show 'em how we rock
(Freo heave ho)
Dock dock Dockers
Show 'em how we roll
Go Dockers, Go Go Go!
Freo, way to go!
Hit 'em real hard, send 'em down below
Oh Freo, give 'em the old heave ho
We are the Freo Dockers!

Geelong Cats

(to the tune of the Toreador Song by Bizet)
We are Geelong the greatest team of all
We are Geelong, we're always on the ball
We play the game as it should be played
At home or far away
Our banners fly high from dawn to dark
Down at Kardinia Park
So! Stand up and fight, remember our tradition
Stand up and fight, it's always our ambition
Throughout the game to fight with all our might
Because we are (the mighty) blue and white
And when the ball is bounced, to the final bell
Stand up and fight like hell

Hawthorn Football Club

(to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy)
We're a happy team at Hawthorn
We're the mighty fighting Hawks
We love our club, and we play to win
Riding the bumps with a grin (at Hawthorn)
Come what may, you'll find us striving
Teamwork is the thing that talks
One for all and all for one
Is the way we play at Hawthorn
We are the mighty fighting Hawks

Melbourne Football Club

(to the tune of A Grand Old Flag, an American marching song)
It's a grand old flag, it's a high-flying flag
It's the emblem for me and for you
It's the emblem of the team we love
The team of the red and the blue
Every heart beats true, for the red and the blue
As we sing this song to you
(what do we sing)
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the red and the blue
Oh, the team played fine in the year Thirty-Nine,
We're the Demons that no one can lick, lick, lick
And you'll find us there at the final bell
With the spirit of Twenty-Six, Six, Six
Every heart beats true, for the red and the blue
As we sing this song to you
(what do we sing)
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the red and the blue

North Melbourne Football Club

(to the tune from Wee Doech 'n' Dorus)
Hearts to hearts and hands to hands
Beneath the Blue and White we stand
We shout, God bless our native land
North Melbourne, North Melbourne
Out they come, out they come, out they come to play
Just for recreation sake to pass the time away
Lots of fun, heaps of fun, enjoy yourself today
North Melbourne boys are hard to beat
when they come out to play
So join in the chorus and sing it one and all
Join in the chorus, North Melbourne is on the ball
Good old North Melbourne, we're champions you'll agree
North Melbourne is the team that plays for you and me.

Port Adelaide Football Club

(The song The Power to Win was written for the club. Words and music by Quentin Eyers and Les Kaczmarek.)
We've got the Power to win
Power to rule
Come on, Port Adelaide aggression
We are the Power from Port
It's more than a sport
It's the true Port Adelaide tradition
We'll never stop, stop, stop
'Til we're top, top, top
There's history here in the making
We've got the Power to win
We'll never give in
'Til the flag is ours for the taking
POWER!
With our tradition so strong
We can't go wrong
We're the Alberton crowd
Port Adelaide proud
And the heroes are those
Who've earned the right
To wear the silver, teal
And black and white
And the Port supporters
Standing tall
True believers
One and all
We've got the Power to win
Power to rule
Come on, Port Adelaide aggression
We are the Power from Port
It's more than a sport
It's the true Port Adelaide tradition
We'll never stop, stop, stop
'Til we're top, top, top
There's history here in the making
We've got the Power to win
We'll never give in
'Til the flag is ours for the taking
POWER!

Richmond Football Club

(to the tune of Row, Row, Row)
Oh, we're from Tigerland
A fighting fury we're from
Tigerland
In any weather you will see us with a grin
Risking head and skin
If we're behind then never mind
We'll fight and fight and win
For we're from Tigerland
We never weaken 'til the final siren's gone
Like the Tiger of old
We're strong and we're bold
For we're from Tiger
– YELLOW AND BLACK
We're from Tigerland

Sydney Swans

(to the tune of the Notre Dame Victory March)
Cheer, cheer the red and the white

Shake down the thunder from the sky
What thou the odds be great or small

While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory

Western Bulldogs

(to the tune of Sons of the Sea, an old nautical song)

Cause you can't beat the boys of the Bulldog breed
We're the team of the mighty west
