The ANZAC Day clash between Collingwood and Essendon is the biggest game of the home and away season.
It draws a big crowd and it's played almost as if it's a final.
Each year the player judged best on ground is awarded the ANZAC Medal, with this being a tradition since 2000.
In 2011, players from the first game in 1995 to 1999 were awarded in retrospect for their performances.
We take a look at the best performances in all 27 years, and make a best 22.
It's hard to go past the winners of the ANZAC Medal and with 20 unique individuals winning the medal, that left two spots in the team in the backline.
Here is how we line up the best ANZAC team from the BOG performances of
Backline
Heath Shaw
Winning the ANZAC Medal in 2007, Heath Shaw played a tremendous game.
His 32 disposals, including 23 kicks, were massive, more so that he was playing on arguably the best ANZAC Day performer ever in James Hird, who went scoreless that game.
This game put the competition on notice, with Shaw getting tagged throughout the remainder of the season.
The premiership player played in six ANZAC games (five wins), picking up 24 touches or more each time.
Simon Prestigiacomo*
In a game that was decided by less than a goal, and could have gone either way, Prestigiacomo was important in keeping it that way.
In his milestone 200th game, 'Presti' kept Bombers skipper Matthew Llyod to just seven touches and no goals.
Although the stats won't show his importance, as he only managed four touches himself.
Ben Johnson
In 2006 Ben Johnson earned his ANZAC Medal with 30 touches, 10 marks and eight inside 50s.
The Magpies would claim a 17-point victory over the Bombers in front of 91,234 fans, with Johnson deservedly earning best-afield honours.
His win is also famous for having his named called out as "Craig" Johnson.
Paul Seedsman
The highlight of Seedsman's career was his 2015 ANZAC Day game, surprising all with a breakout performance to clinch the medal.
His 65-metre goal in the third quarter broke the shackles and set the Pies up to storm home to a 20-point victory.
That goal came with 31 disposals and 14 inside 50s, truly earning the silverware.
This was his best showing as a Pie, and now at Adelaide, he has cemented himself as one of the competition's elite wingmen.
Chris Tarrant
The only player to win an ANZAC Medal in a loss is Chris Tarrant.
On that day in 2001, the game was never really separated by more than a goal all day, with the Bombers prevailing by eight points.
Tarrant almost took the Pies over the line with a five-goal, 13-disposal performance. Having plied his trade at either end of the field and with little recognition for defenders come the post-game honours, we've slotted the Magpies swingman into the back third.
Martin Clarke*
An unexpected name but he makes the cut.
'Marty' Clarke finds his name in this side due to his 2012 game, where he nullified Bombers midfielder Brent Stanton.
Stanton was the form midfielder league-wide to that point of the season, averaging 29 disposals and had 36 touches four days prior in a win over Carlton.
The Irishman Clarke would have his number, keeping him to just two kicks in the first half.
Collingwood prevailed by a single point, and had Stanton been able to do what he does, the Pies mightn't have won that day.
*Named despite not having won an ANZAC Day Medal
