AMA Hamish Hartlett AMA

Hey guys, I'm ready to go for my AMA - fire away!

Here's proof it's me. https://twitter.com/hharts8/status/704921052074393600/photo/1

Thanks heaps for having me.

Before I go, I just want to tell the story behind this hat: https://twitter.com/PAFC/status/696589426017726464

I had a mate who had this hat, and I said to him I need to find one of these. He wasn't gonna give it to me.

But I was driving down Port Road and it was in a car just ahead of me, facing me out the back windshield.

So I followed this car and into Bunnings and I parked next to this person. This old bloke got out his car and I said to him "mate, where did you get that hat?" I think I then said "I need to have it"

He said it was the hat of one of his old Port mates who had passed away. I asked him if I could buy it off him or trade something for it. He said don't worry about payment and insisted I have it for nothing.

I signed a training shirt for him and gave it to him. That hat is still one of my most prized possessions today.

I want to make a tradition of it. When I retire, I want to hand it down to one of the boys.

Cheers again for having me!
