I think we should finish this with "I am, you are, they're not Australian. Unlucky!"

You can easily adapt that to others eg. POMS

I still think "Come On You Gold" is worth a go, similar to "Come on <team>".

Australia's on the Wallaby
Our fathers came to search for gold
The mine has proved a duffer
From bankers boss and syndicate
We always had to suffer
They fought for freedom for themselves
Themselves and mates to toil
But Australia's sons are weary
And the billy's on the boil
Chorus
Australia's on the wallaby
Just listen to the coo-ee
For the kangaroo he rolls his swag
And the emu shoulders bluey
The boomerangs are whizzing round
The dingo scratches gravel
The possum bear and bandicoot
Are all upon the travel
The cuckoo calls the bats and now
The pigeon and the shag
The mallee-hen and platypus
Are rolling up their swag
For the curlew sings a sad farewell
Beside the long lagoon
And the brolga does his last-way waltz
To the lyrebird's mocking tune
There's tiger-snakes and damper, boys
And what's that on the coals?
There's droughts and floods and ragged duds
And dried-up waterholes
There's shadeless trees and sun-scorched plains
All asking us to toil
But Australia's sons are weary
And the billy's on the boil
Our fathers came to search for gold
The mine has proved a duffer
From bankers boss and syndicate
We always had to suffer
They fought for freedom for themselves
Themselves and mates to toil
But Australia's sons are weary
And the billy's on the boil
Chorus
Australia's on the wallaby

For the kangaroo he rolls his swag
And the emu shoulders bluey
The boomerangs are whizzing round
The dingo scratches gravel
The possum bear and bandicoot

The cuckoo calls the bats and now
The pigeon and the shag
The mallee-hen and platypus
Are rolling up their swag
For the curlew sings a sad farewell
Beside the long lagoon
And the brolga does his last-way waltz

To the tune of "The Saints go marching in"
Oh when the gold-d
Go marching in...
Oh when the gold, go marching in
Oh how I want-t to be with the Troupe
Oh when the gold go marching in
Oh when the gold-d
Go marching in...
Oh when the gold, go marching in
Oh how I want-t to be with the Troupe
Oh when the gold go marching in

Or if you want to stick with the Troup 23 idea:
"Oh how I want-t to be with the Troupe"
Yelling
"23"
"when the gold go marching in"
"Oh how I want-t to be with the Troupe"
Yelling
"23"
"when the gold go marching in"

Too cheesy, the original goes off, when sung correctly and together (not led by some country music singer).
We'll already be standing, do you mean the crowd in general?

I love the original when sung right as well and like the anthom I t is great when everyone joins in.
The song would be directed at the rest if the crowd yes.
I am all for this. I hate being looked out funny for showing my support.

The problem with all chants is they are cheesy, that's why not a lot of people do them, until enough (supporters bay, sorry wrong thread) start them and they become established. The problem is it then becomes a novelty to the rest of the crowd and they still don't join in. We need to get the rest of the crowd joining in to make the whole place a supporters bay with the away team supporters the minority not just one bay that chants some away supporters singing and the rest of the crowd watching. Been to a few premier league matches and the different stands have their own chants and sing back and forth to they others, it is great to see. We have to try and change the coulture of all the crowd if you want to make a place intimidating for rivals, and there is the challenge.
