Sometimes it's good to relive the glory days.

So, we've asked a few of the boys to tell us about their best performances across their junior football careers.

Alastair Clarkson has left a message for you...

James Worpel 

My favourite game was the 2017 premiership win with the Geelong Falcons. The opposition side missed a shot after the siren to win it so that was pretty special.  

My best game was probably when I came back from a back injury in my top-age year for the Falcons. It was against Bendigo and I think I had 43 possies - 34 of them kicks - and a couple of snags. So, clearly I didn’t know how to handball! 

Jarman Impey 

I think it was a practice match against Vic Metro. I was obviously playing for Vic Country and I kicked six, so I think that’s why started my career as a forward!  

Chad Wingard 

My best game as a junior was in the League Grand Final for my local club in 2009. I'd just turned 16 and I kicked five goals in a winning grand final. It means more as it's still the only premiership I've won!  

Will Golds 

My best game was probably against Scotch College where I had 35 touches and kicked five goals. Yeh, I had a good day that day.  

Conor Nash 

I played some pretty good Gaelic footy when I wasn’t meant to be playing actually. Two or three years ago when I wasn’t meant to be playing in the off-season back home. I had a pretty big impact for my team against Drummoyne coming on in the second half and we won by two points. But I probably shouldn’t have been playing! 

Harry Jones 

We won the flag in under 14s for the Wodonga Bulldogs. We all carried on like it was the biggest win of all time. We had the game in the bag at half time. So, I fortunately got to soak up the electric atmosphere down at Bunton Park in North Albury for the remaining half.  

Will Day 

My best junior game was in the first round of under 18s. I had 35 possies but I think I had maybe one tackle, if that!
