GUESTS
Nathan Buckley
Buckley has been an ever-present for Collingwood on Anzac Day, representing the Bombers' arch-rivals since the annual blockbuster's inception in 1995 as a player and coach. He polled three Brownlow votes in the famous 1995 draw, while Hird became synonymous with the biggest game of the home and away season, winning the Anzac Medal three times (2000, 2003 and 2004). The pair squared off in the coaches box in three Anzac Day clashes (2012, 2013 and 2015).
Travis Auld
Auld, who served at Essendon from 1997 to 2009, is currently the AFL's chief financial officer and general manager of clubs and broadcasting. He'll shed light on how the AFL is overcoming the current challenges during the lockdown, with his responsibilities including strategy, commercial operations, football operations, financial management, governance, community relations and media. Auld was appointed Essendon's chief operating officer in 2000, leaving the club in 2009 to serve as the Gold Coast Suns' inaugural CEO.
