Notes

  1. ↑ Glen Waverley's official history claims it was Michael Pickering, the brother of Justin, who played for the club. [2] However, others sources indicate Michael Pickering in fact possibly played for Mount Waverley Juniors, not Glen Waverley. [3] Demonwiki also notes that Michael Pickering "may not have played for Mount Waverley, but only lived there". [4] It is known that Michael Pickering played for the Vermont Football Club shortly before he was recruited by Richmond. [5]
