"VFL, I gave you all the best years of my life"
The Lyrics
I can still remember when I first went to the G
Saw the Bombers play the Tigers, ably led by Roger Dean!
My dad politely listened as I argued lucidly
that Blethyn stooged the umpy into giving him that free...
I've got every footy record saved from every game I saw,
...give me any Richmond match and I can rattle off the score.
That Collingwood / North Melbourne Final I was held in awe
coz I beat Mikey Williamson in tipping it a draw
VFL I gave you all the best years of my life
All those cold Saturday arvos! You kept me out of strife
Watching Lou on World of Sport I laughed until I cried
I never thought those little things would soon be swept aside.
And I will always.....be grateful for the good times
The seventies were choc-full of a lot of things I miss
Such as League teams on a Thursday with the cast and crew half-pissed
Butterwy-nutty Bobby - twiple Bwownlow medalist
And Ted and Jezza, on a bus with hot pies in their fists.
And at Brownlow nights the captains added votes up on the stage
There was Teasdale in his velvet suit - a guaranteed front page!
We'd calculate the ladder, six o'clock each Saturday
We weren't to know back then of course that these were numbered days
VFL I gave you all the best years of my life
All those cold Saturday arvos! You kept me out of strife
Watching Lou on World of Sport I laughed until I cried
It never once occurred to me there'd soon be 16 sides.
And I will always.....be grateful for the good times
'87 seemed okay, despite all it begat
They put two teams in from interstate - not much harm in that.
One more game on Saturday, what's one more footy match?
coz I'm still buying my two cans and taking down the stats....
But Adelaide soon entered - and that Modra bloke appeared
And the VFL turned AFL - a national frontier.
The Eagles started winning games, confirming Sheedy's fears
It won't be long, said Kevin, 'til Victoria disappears.
VFL I gave you all the best years of my life
All those cold Saturday arvos! You kept me out of strife
Watching Lou on World of Sport I laughed until I cried
I overlooked the subtle shifts and all that they implied.
But I will always.....be grateful for the good times
Then it really hit the fan, the Eagles winning flags
And we accidentally lost some to those wanky Crowie snags
And then the blokes in Queensland justified their high price tags
And nowadays in tipping comps, you factor in jetlag.
And snug in corporate boxes are the theatre-going set...
who, instead of sitting with their mates, accompany brunettes.
with chardonnay and nori rolls and smoked herring baguettes.
...I miss the days when chiko rolls were all that you could get.
VFL I gave you all the best years of my life
All those cold Saturday arvos! You kept me out of strife
Watching Lou on World of Sport I laughed until I cried
But each week brought us closer to the day those pleasures died.
But I will always.....be grateful for the good times
