I have like bits of memories from the mid nineties, like being lost in the Waverley carpark, but my first real memory is, I think, of the ’96 Ansett cup final. But I’m not sure if that’s because of being there or because I watched the VHS of it so many times! haha I don’t remember the ’97 Grand Final itself much (luckily), but do remember the leadup, and watching training and everything.
And ’89 I think was a great year to be born. Got to grow up in the post cold war, but pre-9/11 era. And also the pre-digital era, which made growing up a lot easier I think. And being born post-80s was probably best as a St Kilda supporter, although I do wish I could have seen Moorabbin in its glory days!

I saw a comment great online somewhere yesterday saying that Reiwoldt has ‘the leadership of Baldock, the endurance of Harvey and the Heart of Hayes.’
