Party like it's 1999: The Big Fish winds back the clock
Description
To celebrate the pre-season kicking up a gear with the announcement of intra-club and practice match dates over the coming weeks, we sat down for a chat with Hawthorn dual Best and Fairest and member of our Team of the Century, Paul Salmon.
We touched on a host of topics with one of the greatest ruckmen to ever don the brown and gold, including:
* Winning three night premierships, a Michael Tuck medal and where they sit in his list of personal achievements;
* The death of pre-season football - and what it meant to him;
* The 1999 Ansett Cup Grand Final in detail including;
* His best on ground performance;
* Dominating the ruck with the help of a few friends;
* Party time at Waverley in front of nearly 50,000 fans;
* What it meant to the group of players winning the 1999 competition;
* His love of the club and the origin of his Hawthorn fandom;
* How he feels about the club at the moment and his excitement level at what Sam Mitchell is piecing together;
* And more.
Sit back, unwind and listen to one of the great players (and story tellers) of our club as he takes us down pre-season memory lane.
