John "John Anthony" Anthony (born 19 January 1988) is a Collingwood Magpies footballer in the Australian Football League.

John is a defender from Diamond Creek in northern Melbourne. He was recruited from the Northern Knights U18 club, and has been earmarked by the club to hold down the fullback position in the years to come, set to replace Shane Wakelin and Simon Prestigiacomo when the pair depart the league scene.

John suffered a serious neck injury in the 2007 pre-season, sidelining him for the season. He recovered to make his debut in Round 3, 2008 against Richmond, and kicked two goals.

To say the name John Anthony among a group of Collingwood supporters would set them howling like baboons. Jack Anthony is one of the hottest prospects in not only the Collingwood Football Club but also in the AFL.

Trivia

  • John's nicknames are "Jack", "Jack Attack", "Jumping Jack Anthony" and "The Hitman."
