               Last year thousands of dollars were raised at a special benefit night at Crown Casino after the
               traditional Essendon versus Collingwood match. The WRFL will follow up with this week’s Anzac Day
               game between Parkside and West Footscray at the Hughes Oval starting at 2.15pm. For those not
