The great grandson of the legendary Roy Cazaly will be among around 500 school footy players soaring when the AFLQ Schools Cup and Secondary Invitational finals are livestreamed at www.couriermail.com.au and News affiliates on Friday and Saturday
Oscar Cazaly, a year 11 student at Mountain Creek SHS, will be involved in the AFL Schools Secondary Invitational Day which is being staged in conjunction with the Schools Cup state finals for primary school at the Maroochydore AFC club.
“It is pretty exciting,’’ said Oscar in reference to being the great grandson of the famous Roy Cazaly.
“It did inspire me to play. All the family played, so I thought I may as well play as well.’’

Roy Cazaly has been immortalised in Australian football folklore after musician Mike Brady penned a song in his honour which is performed every grand final day.
This year Brady will again perform the song live from the MCG, but instead of being viewed by heaving masses at the ground, it will be performed to an empty stadium due to COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria.
But his rendition will still be beamed live into the Gabba on grand final day and will be seen around the world on television.
So what is it like for Oscar to carry the most famous name in the game onto an Aussie rules paddock?
“I don’t know if people believe me at the start when they find out but then some get pretty excited,’’ Oscar smiled.

And there is no doubting the family’s link to the great Roy when neighbours hear the family belt out Brady’s rendition of Up There Cazaly on grand final day.
“We all have our own little rendition but we all get into it,’’ said Oscar’s mother Emma.
Oscar added: “We always have an AFL party and wait for the Mike Brady song to come on.’’
Memorabilia of Roy Cazaly’s playing days with South Melbourne and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League can also be seen around the home.

Pride of place is a big painting of Roy, while there are other photos and cards of him about the place and a few of his original scarfs.
Oscar said he was looking forward to the AFLQ Schools Cup and Invitational finals playing with his Mountain Creek SHS teammates on Friday and Saturday.
“I have been with them for three years now and they were a great group to be with.’’
