Trivia:
- Essendon and Collingwood have clashed in the VFA/VFL on the ANZAC Day long weekend as VFL subsidiary teams on four occassions (in 2000 and from 2014-2016), for a record of 2-2, one win at Victoria Park and at Windy Hill apiece.
- Following on from that (because it is a source of confusion that sometimes comes up), Collingwood has previously played the VFL affiliate of the Essendon Football Club (the Bendigo Bombers) on the ANZAC Day long weekend three times from 2009 to 2011, for a record of 1-2.
