Heart of the Game
Every word. Every beat. Every game. This is who we are.
Before every match, before every tackle, our teams find their voice. The Redtails and Pinktails chants aren’t just words, they’re a call to unity, strength, and pride in where we come from. They remind us that when we pull on the jumper, we carry more than colours, we carry culture, community, and the heart of Central Australia.
The Players’ Rants
Spoken before every game, a moment that brings us together, fired up and ready to play for something bigger than ourselves.
Redtails Rant
Redtails, Right Tracks, we are never looking back.
From the Centre to the sea, this is our Territory.
Proud and courageous in attack, we will always have your back.
Come along and share the ride, for we are Centralian pride.
We will always be around, we will never let you down.
Pinktails Rant
Pinktails, Right Tracks, we are never looking back.
From the Centre to the sea, this is our Territory.
Proud and courageous in attack, we will always have your back.
Come along and share the ride, for we are Centralian pride.
We will always be around — we will never let you down.
P-I-N-K-T-A-I-L-S — Pinktails!
The Teams’ Song
Verse 1
From the beating hearts of champions,
Foundations set in stone.
We’ll defend this sacred place of ours —
The desert is our home.
The battle lines are set — let’s go!
Top End, we smell your fear.
We’re the pride of Central Australia —
Let’s lift another gear!
Chorus
If you’re a Redtail, stand up,
Walk alongside of me.
Stand tall and be strong —
We’re a proud family.
Wear the red, black, and white,
Centralian might — through and through.
We’ll give it all we’ve got to win —
The Mighty Cockatoos!
HEY!
Verse 2
Redtails, stand up — come on!
We’ll give ’em hell for sure.
Clarkey’s set us on our way,
Right now we need you all.
Can’t wait for the perfect day,
Our future starts right here.
Top End, heads up — look out, you mob,
The Centralian lads are here!
HEY!
The Centralian lads are here!
HEY!
Bridge
When the dust has settled,
The battle has paused —
Stand back and take a breath.
For in our hearts and heads we know,
We need to give our best.
This team has come from hope and trial —
We need to stand united.
Central Australia — it’s me and us,
We’ll fall if we’re divided.
(Chorus Repeat)
