Former Fremantle players wound the clock back during a past players' curtain raiser before Saturday night's win over Carlton.

The game was extra special with the players bringing their children onto Domain Stadium for a round of AFL 9s.

Among those playing was Fremantle favourite Troy Cook with his son Xavier, 5.

"He enjoyed coming out for a kick on the oval where Dad used to play on," Cook said.

Cook said the past players game was a great initiative by the club, especially allowing children to join in.

"There were some familiar faces, but different shapes and sizes since I last caught up with them," he said.

Other plays to take to the field were Matthew Burton, Shane Parker, Scott Chisholm and Brad Wira.
