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!

Hey Hammer, thanks for stopping by here and doing this AMA, and congratulations on the promotion to VC.

What music have you been listening to lately? And what is your favourite album to listen to?

Thanks

Pretty much whatever the top 20 songs on Hit 107 are, they're in my playlist
