The ANZAC Day Medal was not introduced until 2000, with James Hird as the first winner. Do you have any proof to back up the claim that it was awarded, perhaps retrospectively, between 1995 - 1999? 58.160.125.76 13:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
The original idea for the game came from the Fremantle Dockers. They opened talks with Essendon and the AFL, however they were not included in the final format. The Fremantle game for Anzac day has always included an extended Anzac day ceremony - which was the intention of the original proposal. This was reflected in the popular media at the time. It is interesting that it is sometimes referred to as a "traditional" clash, when it only goes back as far as 1994 and was proposed by the AFL's second newest club. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.6.136 (talk) 23:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
