1988 I was born
1989 Moved to Perth
Supported West Coast growing up probably because friends were ( dad n sis are collingwood, 2 bros are bombers , mum is demons)
In year 4 i saw Harvs play and i was star struck to say the least (understatement) then i followed him and grew fond of the club with there other great players in that 96-97 period. I still remember the 1st time i told someone i support saints.

2005- completed Highschool and went on to engineering at uni
2006- 18th
2007-went back to melbourne for a holiday for 1st time since i left, saw the saints play collingwood(lost) at the G and adelaide(won) at the dome.
2008- now 20

2 weeks ago- actually started to replace the word 'god' with 'Harvey'. eg For Harveys sake.

I was born almost 4 years after Harvs' debut! I have never known St Kilda without him. 2009 is going to be a strange year.
