Better yet they could do what Port Adelaide Power or the gold Coast Suns have done...make their own song! The club could get someone to write it and work out a deal where the songwriter and the club share in the profits from royalty payments rather than paying a licence fee or a big fee for permission to use the theme with different lyrics to someone overseas.
@Callan Kilderry; I am not a South Australian and I have no allegiances to any SANFL team. So what I want to know is why do several SANFL teams (Centrals and West Adelaide, Norwood and Sturt) have the same club songs, (albeit with alterations to the lyrics by the teams who sing the song) when they win? I thought the SANFL would have intervened years ago to change this as teams such as Centrals came into the SANFL after West Adelaide. Is it to do with history of the clubs? Did the SANFL not think it was necessary to have different club songs for competing teams? I will cut, copy and re-post this message on other RU-vid pages where you have uploaded other SANFL team songs. This way if you don`t know the answer, other people reading my comments may be able to tell me the reasons for all the same songs!
I think it was just copying each other and VFL/AFL teams songs and therefore standardised because others were longer and less catchy, also Glenelg had a line "We're dashing, we're gay. We're the pride of the Bay" which they changed during the changing times of the 70s.

Callan Kilderry There is no issue with copying VFL/AFL clubs as clubs such as Melbourne, Footscray/Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn, etc don`t play in the SANFL. It is a bit confusing to new fans of Aussie Rules Football (especially immigrants to Australia and even young children) when they see Sturt and Norwood play each other (either watching on TV, listening on the radio or internet or watching at the ground), but hear two teams run out to the same theme song!
Callan Kilderry Surely Centrals could run out to the Western Bulldogs song and either Norwood or Sturt could consider adopting another club song...if not from an AFL team then maybe a song used by a US College Sports team(s) that is not already used in the SANFL or AFL or another theme used by a local footy team playing in a lower tier competition.
