Party like it's 1999: The Big Fish winds back the clock

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. Follow Hawks Insiders on Twitter and Facebook.
