Sons of the West is the official anthem of the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League.

To the tune of "Sons of the Sea".

[edit] Lyrics

 Sons of the West
 Red, white and blue 
 We come out snarling  
 Bulldogs through and through
 Bulldogs bite and bulldogs roar
 We give our very best 
 But you can't beat the boys 
 of the Bulldog breed 
 We're the team of the mighty West

[edit] Meaning

It was previously known as "Sons of the Scray" when the Bulldogs were known as the Footscray Bulldogs pre-1997. The original first line was "Sons of the 'Scray," and instead of "Bulldogs through and through," it was "whether we win or lose." The line "we give our very best" was originally "Remember '54," and instead of singing "We're the team of the mighty west," Footscray supporters used to sing "who made old Footscray's name."
