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
Midfield
James Hird
There has only been one other player to somewhat come close to James Hird when it comes to ANZAC Day clashes, but even then, it's still quite a gap.
The two-time premiership player has been a central thread of ANZAC Day games, simply owning the match in the first half of the 2000s.
He has the most medal wins (tied) with three, claiming the honour in 2000, 2003 and 2004.
The 2003 win, in what is Essendon's most dominant ANZAC win over Collingwood (66-points), saw the former Brownlow medallist gather 27 touches and kick a bag of five.
Playing 10 times on this day, he averaged just under 24 touches and two goals.
Scott Pendlebury
If Hird was Mr ANZAC Day in the early 2000s, Pendlebury owns that moniker for the 2010s.
The 2010 Norm Smith medallist has also won three medals, doing so in 2010, the following year and in 2019.
He masterminded the 65-point smashing of Essendon in 2010 with 29 touches before upping it the next year with 34 possessions, eight tackles and three goals.
The 2019 hard-fought four-point win saw him gather a monstrous 38 disposals.
Dane Swan
Pendlebury's partner in crime during their time together, Dane Swan was a massive ANZAC Day player.
The 2011 Brownlow medallist helped himself to two ANZAC Medals in 2012 and two years later in 2014.
2012 was his best triumph, and probably one of the most prolific performances, as he gathered 42 touches, three goals and 13 clearances in the one-point victory.
He also dominated 2014 with four goals and 26 possessions. 11 ANZAC games saw Swan average 26 touches and kick 10 goals.
