thirteen men came together, who shared a common goal
each one persisted on the field, to bring glory to their footy team

employing skills they'd been taught, on the oval they put in their best
struggling against the other side, to win for the team

they'd not be disgraced, their competitive spirit rode high
the lads unified in a battle, they played as a solid team

each man skilled and trained, none had defeat on their minds
positional play twas all important, they'd not be a routed team

their football side had a draw on Sunday, the thirteen strove to win
as a cohesive unit they tried well, but the time clock disfavored their team
