John Anthony

He also had another career high four goals against Fremantle Football Club and laid five tackles against the Blues. He was ranked 10th in the AFL for total goals for the season and 16th in goals contributed per game. Anthony kicked a crucial goal in the last 20 seconds of the semi final against Adelaide to give Collingwood victory by five points, after being awarded a free kick from directly in front. He broke down in tears after the match. Collingwood were easily defeated by Geelong the following week in the preliminary final. Earlier in the season, Anthony was suspended for one match for headbutting an opponent in the groin.

Coming off a very successful year in 2009, Anthony had a disappointing start to the 2010 season, only averaging half a goal a game, which then forced him to be dropped from the senior side and into the VFL team. Later in the season he was then listed to play round 14 where he played his best game for the season and then the following week he was dropped again for playing his worst game of the season. Anthony then made a final attempt of squeezing into the strong Collingwood side by playing a defensive roll in round 21 against the Adelaide Football Club which didn't work out for him. John Anthony had been replaced by team mate Chris Dawes.

At the conclusion of the 2010 season, Anthony left Collingwood after receiving little interest from other clubs during trade week. Read Less
