This truly honours the sacrifices of our forebears.

I'll never forget learning about the brave ANZACs storming the beach at Gallipolli as they received Air Support from F35 fifth generation fighter jets.
 
I know that it's "for the kids".
But the vague, non-committal branding of the medal screams to me of the AFL trying to keep team allegiances out of it so they can change the participants of the game if they need to.

Would have been great to name it similar to the Border-Gavaskar trophy, but with a name from each club that is renowned for their generosity and charity.

I was curious about the meaning of this artwork so looked it up.

Apparently it represents the “Missing Man Formation” that is performed by the RAAF for ceremonies as an act of rememberance for those that don’t return home.

Which is of course worthy of respect, but perhaps not that suitable for a football jumper.

Wait till you hear about the support from the Collins class submarines anchored off the coast.

Great yarn.

Feels like it would fit great on a 'Remembrance Day' jumper more than an ANZAC day jumper.

Unless its Tom Powell's.

Hence where we learned the phrase: Lest We Forget.

Cunnington / Doherty cup would certainly be a good look

Not sure how I overlooked that one.
Lock it in
Would love to have it something like that or related to a community player winner if not, make it about the kids without a sponsor as it doesn’t need any
