If you don’t know what the game of AFL is, do yourself a favour and look it up. Whether you can understand it or not, you’ll soon become fully aware of the passion, blood, sweat, and tears that make this one of the best sports on the planet. Today I sat with the man who brought me up loving this game, raised me to bleed yellow and black, and watched together as our Tigers destroyed their opponents by 89 points in the Grand Final!! 100,014 people filled the Melbourne Cricket Ground (10 off it’s capacity I think), I’d say at least another 20,000 filled the Richmond Football Club’s home ground just outside the main venue, and a sea of yellow and black spilled out onto the streets through pubs and cafes all over the city. We really are part of something much bigger.

Over the years I’ve been asked why I still support the Tiges, and fair enough with them living comfortably on the 9th spot of the ladder for years.. but it’s only been in the last four years that I’ve really come to appreciate the work they do. The club speaks highly of its mantra - to play for and with one another, do it for the Tiger Army. Players no longer aim to get the most disposals, the highest number of touches, or to be the one scoring all the goals.. instead they ensure everyone gets a go, they are the live demonstration of versatility, and what it means to be part of a team. 

A stunning example of this comes in two parts - firstly to a senior player who sacrificed being part of a Premiership team to allow a deserving, talented man have his debut on the big stage. Marlion Pickett got the gift of a lifetime to be welcomed to the side, and showed the nation exactly why he was deserved of this opportunity within minutes of being on the field. Credit to Shaun Griggs, you sacrificed something incredible to give another man the chance to prove himself, and man did he do you proud! Secondly, with Pickett being absolutely sensational in assisting goals and keeping the ball alive, he was able to go one better and also get his first AFL goal during his debut game in the 2019 AFL Grand Final with the Premiership team. Star of the game, Dustin Martin (heart throb, genuinely gorgeous soul, and sexiest man on the ground) has a clear shot at goal and instead kicks across the field to Pickett, who is also open. Making sure that Pickett is given the best chance at creating the most incredible memory in his debut game, Martin gives him the opportunity and Pickett scores his first goal.

This song isn’t about who wins… it’s about what football does to us. ⚽❤️ It’s about the goosebumps when the anthem plays. The way strangers become friends for 90 minutes. The way a single goal can make an entire nation scream at the same time. 🌍🔥 It’s about pride. Unity. Emotion. Hope. It’s about the little kid dreaming in front of the TV, the families gathered around, the streets filled with celebration, and even the tears that remind us how deeply we care. The **FIFA World Cup** isn’t just about lifting a trophy — it’s about connection. It’s about how the game breaks barriers, crosses languages, and brings millions together under one passion. Win or lose, football leaves a mark on our hearts. And this song carries that feeling — the energy, the love, the unity that only the world’s biggest stage can create. 🌍⚽ Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about who wins… it’s about what the game makes us feel.

At just over two minutes, it delivers an upbeat, feel-good vibe designed to bring people together - whether in stadiums, watch parties, or everyday moments that call for infectious, international energy.
