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.

Great find sideshow bob. A fantastic fiery article.

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

Shinboner spirit, anyone?

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.
