As the Anzac Day game is approaching between Essendon and Collingwood, I wondered what it would look like if both teams merged into one, who would make the final best 23 squad?
The squad, comprising of the 2026 team lists, had 15 Collingwood and eight Essendon players, headlined by stars like Nick Daicos, Zach Merrett, Josh Daicos and more.
Read below what my thoughts are on the best 23 players from both squads ahead of their Anzac Day clash...
Best 23
