The ANZACS never fought nor died for this AFL mediarised commercial crap. How dare the AFL try and hijack the ANZAC spirit and profit from it. All money taken at the gate tomorrow should go to veterans welfare and not the Clubs.

I used to steal the magazines from under dads bed when I was a boy, but now I just stream movies.

Agree 100%. We don't even give veterans charities the money we make from selling ANZAC Day guernseys though.
