The video featured Collingwood legend Anthony Rocca who shared his cancer experience after undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin’s follicular lymphoma.

On the field, patients, staff, and supporters from Peter Mac stood united in a guard of honour. Meanwhile, across the stadium, fans from both teams came together, raising their phone lights in honour of those impacted by cancer. A powerful moment of pause, together.

The game was filled with action and drama, and the final score was 63 – 46 to Collingwood. This takes the total Peter Mac Cup tally to 16-14 in Carlton’s favour.

In recognition of his outstanding performance during the match, Lachie Schultz was awarded the prestigious Richard Pratt Medal as the best player on the ground.

A big thank you to everyone involved in last night’s Peter Mac Cup. Beyond the footy, the Peter Mac Cup is about taking a stand against cancer and supporting groundbreaking cancer research at Peter Mac. Collingwood captain Darcy Moore echoed this statement as he accepted the Peter Mac Cup on the ground at the ‘G."

“Collingwood and Carlton we are the fiercest of rivals, but for us to come together and channel that rivalry into this Peter Mac Cup game is super important. Obviously Carlton footy club, your support and the way you've driven this game and this cause raising really important funds and importantly awareness to cancer which touches the lives of so many. We are truly honoured to play our part in this game, so thank you so much”

Congratulations again to Collingwood on last night’s win.

The total amount raised from the 2025 Peter Mac Cup will be announced in coming days.
