Anzac Day clash is a big marketing con

I don't know about you guys but the advertising and comments about this game are really beginning to make me sick.

I think this Kangas fan on the Herald-Sun website sums it up pretty well - it's a game of footy not a battle.

Respect to the diggers - hope you all get to catch up with a heap of your mates tomorrow - but don't have to put up with footballers comparing their experience to yours.

    Yep, good article, thanks for posting it. I'm with you, players, clubs & AFL should take note not to insult the diggers by comparing their experiences to a game of footy

    i agree 100%... was listening to sen in bed this morning, and they were going on about the army award for courageous acts on the footy field etc... load of crap...

    How about we all line the ‘G with .22 rifles, a few tins packed with nails, shrapnel and gunpowder and take potshots at the players… then see how they feel about spruiking about how they channel the spirit of the Anzacs!

    i wouldn't mind wiping out a few magpies and bombers, although would be better used on their supporters tbh

    Second biggest game of the year apparently. When someone like Lovett-Murray wins the medal, its hardly inspiring.

    What a load of sh1te this game is, 2 clubs below average at this stage 'battling' it out in an era where physical contact is shunned upon.

    It's entertainment for the ANZACs and they like it so why not, but yes, don't piant a picture Lovett, Josh Fraser, Alwyn Davey, Scott Pendlebury are 'soldiers' or something.

    I hate the fact that the last post gets played at all games, it should be played on Anzac day and not 2 days later, I agree with what was said, when I listened to grandparents talk about the war and my uncle about Vietnam, running at the ball whilst 3 guys were barreling at you or running with the flight of the ball whilst courageous pales in significance with what all those who have served went through and comparing the two is pathetic.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
