Coodabeen Champions - VFL Park In The Dark

A favourite pastime of mine in the late 80's was to get to the footy early to watch the Reserves play and switch on the radio to 3LO to listen to the banter of the Coodabeen Champions.
Through Greg Champion and others they reworked famous songs to a football theme and played a track each week.
This track comes from the 1988 audio tape "On The Bench With The Coodabeen Champions".
I have added some unrelated video footage of the 1992 Night Grand Final at VFL Park between Hawthorn and Fitzroy.

This needs to go over a video of VFL Park when it really did go dark.

I was at this game - the pre season Grand Final between my beloved Lions and the hawks. We got smashed by the Hawks and it was biggest crowd the Roys played in front of in the 90's. If i am not mistaken Roos played even though he was injured - go those Roy Boys and Brisbane Lions

i like how when the players name came on the screen the teams mascot came up in the top right corner

Footy has changed. No VFLPark No Ftzroy ...

Geez VFL PArk was a massive ground. I think it was 185m from goal to goal.

Greg Champion says this is an original. I guess he's right but I have a vague memory of a song that sounded a lot like this back in the early to mid 80s.
