	"DIGGERS" v "TURKS" Match report - 27 Ap - www.ezboard.com
		On Saturday 27th April, in the ANZAC Day Bintangs Football Challenge, the Diggers lead by Brigadier Quin were pitted against the Turks lead by Sergeant Major Batten, on the Battlefield of Cibubur.
		It was sure to be a battle royale as the two combatants faced off, with both knowing that only one team would be able to hoist the victory pennant at the end of the clash.
		The Turks seized the initiative from the opening skirmish and had their battle lines better prepared than the Diggers who appeared to be in disarray due to the Brigadier clearly having consumed too much port at the pre-battle dinner the night before.

		Today being Anzac Day, it is the occasion for the “traditional Anzac Day clash” (where apparently “traditional” means since 1995) between two of the original members of the Australian Football League (founded 1897, as the Victorian Football League), Collingwood and Essendon.
		Other sites add that it was because that year, the club moved to new grounds at Windy Hill, near Essendon Airport, which itself was only founded in 1921.

	Drawing on a great tradition - realfooty.com.au

	Round Five vs Saint Kilda
		ANZAC Day tradition was extended from the Collingwood-Essendon clash of the racists at the MCG to include this clash at Subiaco in the evening.
		St Kilda fought back towards the end of the quarter, and this was pretty much the pattern of the game, with Fremantle starting each quarter well, and then St Kilda fighting back to prevent them extending their lead to any insurmountable margin.
		Freo were the better team on the night, but were never able to completely shut St Kilda out of the game.

		Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse was so impressed by the condition of the MCG for the Anzac Day clash that he thought the MCG curator, Tony Ware, deserved a vote for the “outstanding” condition of the ground, despite it copping a lot of rain over the previous days.
		Melbourne’s big wet also soaked the Yarra Park surrounding the MCG, which is used for car parking during match days, causing the Melbourne City Council to close the park on Wednesday, forcing tens of thousands of fans travelling to watch the Essendon-Collingwood game to use public transport.
		Remarkedly, Kardinia Park has recovered well from the deluge and will be ready for this Sunday’s Geelong-Port Adelaide match.
