Description

This article questioned the rights of the Essendon and Collingwood football clubs to play on Anzac Day when there are clubs with greater war service records. While clubs such as Melbourne stopped playing during the Great War Collingwood continued. The article questions whether Melbourne, with its more extensive War record, is more deserving of recognition on Anzac Day than the Magpies.
