I wonder whether it was "send up" when we had U19's & reserves and it refers to players going "up" to the seniors. |

Well when we were getting them from the Bendigo League it would have been "send down". When we were getting them from SA & WA it would have been "send across".

it's always been send US, ends UP for me. i remember wheni was about 12, writing to the club asking for the song words and it was send US and ends UP (which makes more sense in my mind). What the hell does send UP mean? |

What the hell does send UP mean? Yep, me too. Makes sense that way. Send up - doesn't that mean take the piss out of someone? |

We are the Navy Blues, We are the old dark Navy Blues, We’re the team that never lets you down, We’re the only team old Carlton knows, With all the champions they like to send us, We’ll keep our end up. And they will know that they’ve been playing Against the famous old dark Blues. Surely this has to be the definitive answer does it not? |

Yeah, I was going to look up my CD when I got home. If that is different then maybe we are living in some sort of short-haired Gwyneth parallel universe. Scary!

tommi, hope you don't mind, but I've added a poll … if the Club can't decide then let up, I mean us, do it for them.

It is UP, it has always been UP and I can't stand it when the actual players sing US ...it shits me to tears. 'We are the champions, they like to send UP" "We'll keep our end UP" Compared to this crappyness... "We've all the champions, they like to send US" (send us..? Where too?) "We'll keep our ends UP" |

It is "Up". It refers to "sending up" players from our lower teams into the seniors. Also, it is "keep our end up" not "keep our ends up". I know we bent over and assumed the position in quite a few games last year, but I hardly think we would put that in our club song. |

It means to make fun of. Which makes sense cos everyone would want to take the piss out of us cos we are so good. Whereas send us..means absolutely zilch. |

On my 1960's Herald Privilege Record it is "UP". Great versions of the song by Smacka Fitzgibbon and also Frank Traynor and the Jazz Preachers. There is also a fantastic oral history of the club on the record which is nice as it is rather modest because at that stage we had 'only' won 8 premierships and were in the middle of a long premiership drought. |
