'''John "Jack" Anthony''' (born 19 January 1988) is a [[Collingwood Magpies]] footballer in the [[Australian Football League]]. Anthony was Drafted by the [[Collingwood Magpies]] (rank #37) In the 2005 National Draft. Anthony was a defender from [[Diamond Creek Football Club|Diamond Creek]] in northern Melbourne but now plays full forward for [[Collingwood Football Club]]. He was recruited from the [[Northern Knights]] U18 club. When he first came into the club he was thought of a potential Full-back for the [[Collingwood Magpies]] but has become a regular in attack. |

He kicked 25 goals for the season and scored at an accuracy of 81% - the highest percentage of any player in the competition with 25 or more goals.Originally believed to be the replacement for the retired James Clement, Anthony was a dangerous force up forward. His best return of the season was kicking four goals in a losing side against [[North Melbourne Football Club]] in round 16. Against [[St Kilda Football Club]] in round 19 he kicked three goals and had five marks in an important game for the club. |

He also had another career high four goals against [[Fremantle Football Club]] and laid five tackles against the Blues. He is also ranked 10 in total goals for the season and 16th in goals contributed per game. He also 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 thrashed by Geelong the following week in the preliminary final. |
