In 1917, former Collingwood player Malcolm ‘Doc’ Seddon, fighting in WWI, sent letters and a ‘good luck horseshoe’ to his club, which now features in their 2025 Anzac Day jersey. Each Anzac Day jersey tells a unique story, with Collingwood’s design incorporating Seddon’s letters and the horseshoe, while Essendon honors the Anzac spirit with poppies. Other clubs, like Melbourne and Richmond, have also created jerseys reflecting their own commemorative themes, emphasizing the significance of remembrance in this weekend’s matches.
