The clampions

“It is one of football’s greatest ironies. A player whose kicking skills were among the best ever, coaching a side that butchers the ball more than Bertocchi Smallgoods. Nathan Buckley knows Collingwood players can’t kick the ball. Everyone knows. In case it wasn’t obvious, statistics show the Pies had the worst kicking efficiency last year.”

Four pay for melee
Herald Sun – 28/04/15
“Four players have been fined for their part in a melee during the ANZAC Day clash between Essendon and Collingwood.”

Frost’s bite signals rise of youth brigade

“In the latter stages of Collingwood’s defeat of Essendon, former Adelaide and Fitzroy coach Robert Shaw made clear his opinion on who should receive the ANZAC Day medal. Shaw, who played and coached at Essendon and was Fremantle’s football operations manager, and now works as a football analyst, tweeted his view that Jack Frost was the best player on the field for his defensive efforts on Jake Carlisle.”

Unlikely hero wins the points

“The added emotional build-up of an ANZAC Day match has often produced some unlikely outstanding individual performance over the years – Mark McGough (2002) and more recently David Zaharakis. In this year’s edition, very few would have predicted Collingwood’s Paul Seedsman to walk away with the ANZAC Medal, but a flawless, free-running display by the 23-year-old left the judges with no other choice.”
