[310sucks]

How could any Aussie not love AFL? A culture of the people, for the people, and INVENTED in Australia for Australia.

[Smaydeline]

so this week we will sing

'one day in October'

??

[carnthemightroos4eva]

@Smaydeline bahahaha

[Quest1989]

An absolute classic. It's 11:22 on Grand Final day, I couldn't leave home to make my way to M.C.G. without listening to this beauty of a track. They certainly don't make 'em like this anymore!!

[hadijoge1]

Grew up in the 80's & this song is the best footy anthem ever made. Well done Mike & Go Pies !!!!!

[cbr600rrmicron]

UP there Collingwood win the flag in this one day in september 2010!!!

[Forgottenmagpie]

GO PIES 2010 !!!!!! :D

[Forgottenmagpie]

GO PIES!!!!!!

[ipsilon160]

i wonder. what is your opinion on this matter which era of Footy was better. the 70-80 or now

[Dimitri0809]

@ipsilon160

80's is more nostalgic.

[loaxin]

they look like fairies prancing about

[peter100540]

guitarheroadmira said about two months ago that "One day in September" sounds too like "Up there Cazaly".

Well how more alike it is to "Lipstick on Your Collar" as recorded by Connie Francis back in the 60's when Mike was a young, up and coming Guitar-Playing Singer?

"One day in September, told a tale on you. One day in September, said you were untrue, etc.

I am sure that the very close similarity between th two songs is quite coincidental, and accidental.

Peter of Brighton.

[MasterofMayhem1394]

The best game...

[Naylman]

That footage is from Footy Brawls right ? I used to hire that one on Beta all the time. Set to Superman music freaking awesome

[aussie80s]

The first part is Marks Of The Year from 1980 That Was The Season That Was video. The last 30sec was from the actual clip of One Day In September when they showed a small snippet of it on the World Of Sport 25th Anniversary show in 1984.

[Naylman]

The video I'm talking about must have taken the footage from 1980 That Was The Season That Was. It was basically the best of punch ups with a highlights of marks and goals ran for an hour. Showed things like a female ump pulling the shorts out of her backside over and over again.

[guitarheroadmira]

Sounds a little too like Up There Cazaly

[redhead3199]

@guitarheroadmira Right at the end of this song they sing parts of 'Up there Carzly.'

[barra4343]

blue boys got rid of fev :(

[SaintTony1968]

St KILDA  FOREVER

[guitarheroadmira]

I went to the grand final and was shattered. They'll do it next year... Fingers Crossed :P

[jrt2009]

Football's such a part of this whole town!

[TheWarriorcookie]

Go SAINTS!! Good luck boys, we can beat the red white and blackness!

[mrdamgod]

yeah the 70's didnt have the drugs that the cats have!

[macnewington]

I'm a Swan who believes the Crows have it this time

[billsaintkilda]

Crows are pretenders. Even if they win against Collingwood, they haven't beaten teh Bulldogs, Saints or Geelong all years. Have actually thrashed in 4 of those games.

[teenssuckballs70]

Not 4 Hawthorn.....lol

[pete035]

go the mighty pies

[BENTOMAFL]

everyday footy fans think of one day in september

[Carrots44]

and it's comin soon!!! :D

[dermut71]

good video mate - funny that there was only about 2 pieces of footage of Richmond highlights given that they won the premiership that year!

[SaintTony1968]

St Kilda Forever

[admanhawks]

02:46 Wini reds LOL.... On the debate of what era was better, I only remember 70s onwards, but 70s & 80s & some of the 90s was tough & hard but now we have the new athletic breed & I like it. fast, & spectacular with some of the most freakish efforts. All good, & it moved with the times. Rather AFL than bum sniffing NRL...3 men trying to push 2 men up 1 mans bum!

[gumby1501]

carn the hawk's! :)

[SaintTony1968]

St Kilda FOREVER

[Rommeljnr]

Question fellow AFL fans. I have dellusional step father who seems to think that a premiership side of the late 70's or early 80's could beat any modern side like the Cats. I think he has his head up his sphincter myself. Pls comment.

[yegenuis]

Probably pulling your leg, look how fast the game is today and the fitness of players. Top teams in the mid 80's would struggle to beat the top VAFA teams today

[YAO11TMAC1]

you cant compare teams from different era's, you can only compare teams from the same era's, no one could beat hawthorn in the 80's but who know what would happened in they played in this day an age, what if what if we will never know

[PazzaDons]

Mya not have the pace, but, they'd have to handle the hardness.

Lethal would have loved nothing more than belting Ablett off the ball - and then getting away with it!

[Westyrulz]

Your stepfather is having himself on.

[Barsopen1970]

As someone who witnessed that great era of football and who loved football a bit more then thought i'd be a good candidate for that question..... 30 years ago it was big , real big ! - the skills ? we'll, we thought those yesteryear top teams were 'spot on' co's we did'nt see any better examples and the hype over it all just went straight to heart, was truelly exciting times

But compared to say.. today, Umm no ! - any team in the current 2009 top 8 would hand their arses on a plate.

[pillowboyz]

theres no way a 70's team could beat geelongs current team

[ProLife7777777]

Its IMPOSSIBLE to compare sides from different eras - so the question can not be answered.

[Manfred58]

Have to hand it to you Aussies... This is simply the greatest game on the planet!

come on YOU BLUES, with Love from the POMS!!!

[jasonplay]

There is only one club... RICHMOND.

go TIGERS!

[allinjim123]

filled with drug addicts and failures yeah great club

[pap99876]

come on the tiges dont stress we will bounce back we aint like you other fake suporters out there its in our blood

[munners123]

go tiges!!!!!

[jasonplay]

Tigers C'monnnnn!

[mightypies4eva]

GO PIES 09

[kymsheba]

17 bloody years but what a way for us to win it and now a new glorious era for the HAWKS to rival our eras of the 70's and 80's ... BEWARE ALL YOU OTHER PRETENDERS THE HAWKS ARE BACK TO DOMINATE ANOTHER ERA.

HAWKS FOREVER 2008 CHAMPIONS.

[IRW1965]

No problems when they win 3 in a row I'll be impressed - LIONS

[Hawksangel30]

GO CATS!

[joely654]

[workingclasstheist]

Awesome, I'll be having a few beers tomorrow and barracking for the Cats!

ST KILDA 2008 PREMIERS

[workingclasstheist]

Don't you mean the Aints? :p

[MasterAJDubya]

GO TIGOS!

[homegrown92]

i love this song soo much :) so inspiring AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE

[Barsopen1970]

god we made some good theme / novelty tunes back then that had a great feel about it (something seriously lacking in todays uninspiring tunes).. whether it was Mike Bradys "one day in september" or his "up there cazaly".

Just right across the board really !

* Peter Best - care for kids (1979) tv campaign)

* Salvadore Smith - I'm an Aussie yes i am (1979)

* Shirls Neighbourhood (kids tv)

* Mojo Singers - C'mon Aussie C'mon (cricket) the list went on & on .

Mike Brady still does themes for radio

[munners123]

2nd too up there cazaly..go tigers

[garygroundwork]

back when footy was actually good.

[Modokun]

footy in terms of a sport is better these days, It just lacks character. People used to play for passion... now they play for pay. I loved 90s football.. I think the difference is due to there being no more home grounds that dont seat ridiculous amounts of people.

[garygroundwork]

yeah i agree with you..it's a better game in terms of speed and skill but taking the big bumps and a bit of biff out of the game is the biggest travesty.

[garygroundwork]

not to mention how overumpired it has become. For example if someone pushes someone the umpire gives the other player receives a free kick..fkn soft.

[pangoez]

ur an idiot, watch some vision from the 'hard era' and u'll see that the same free kicks were paid and even more (kickin in danger)

the only thing that has changed is that footy players are a lot worse these days. notice in this video the height they get WITHOUT TOUCHING THE OPPONENTS BACK!! the afl was right for bringin in the hands in the bak rule because u shouldnt need to do it. it's simple -- DON'T DO IT! U DON'T NEED TO!!!! when players finally get it thru their head the game will be good

[garygroundwork]

idiot??? WTF ???????? if u think the game isn't over umpired now compared with eras gone by you're on drugs. quit calling me an idiot for stating my point of view which i'm sure 90% of people would agree with.

[garygroundwork]

and by the way i was talking about 'push and shove' not pushing in the back...lol

[pangoez]

alrite i can understand where ur comin from so i take bak the idiot comment but i think if u look into it u'll find most the free kicks that are paid are because of chopping arms or hands in the back, clumsy tackles, off the ball stuff etc. ie: things that were punished back then as well. the only thing that has obv changed is the interaction with umpires, which is understandable when ur trying to recruit umps -- no1 wants to be abused a la brian taylor lol

[BootPatrol]

This is one of my favorite songs of any sort, and it makes me wish and long to be at the MCG on that One Day in September!

[thedys70]

just brilliant.
