Before the premierships and the success, there were people buying bricks just to help keep the club going.

Reflecting on the history of the Albury Tigers, Stuart Hodgson remembers the generations of people who gave their time, energy - and sometimes their own money - to ensure the club had a future.

For Stuart, remembering those people is an important part of understanding what a football club really represents.

Success doesn’t belong to one team or one generation. It’s built on the contribution of those who came before - and carried forward by those who come next.

“Footy was the constant.”

Growing up, Stuart Hodgson moved schools and regularly found himself having to start again.

But football gave him something that stayed constant - a place to belong, friendships that endured and, eventually, a community that would become an important part of his life.

That connection with football ultimately led Stuart to the Albury Tigers, where he would go on to spend more than three decades as a player, coach, president and passionate clubman.

In this episode of The Journey, Stuart reflects on where that sense of belonging began – and just how much the game has given him along the way.

How to be a more sustainable shopper The way we shop can have a big impact on both the environment and our wallets.

Football gave Stuart Hodgson more than premierships. It gave him a place to belong.

For more than three decades, Stuart has been part of the Albury Tigers - as a player, coach, president and passionate clubman.

In the latest episode of The Journey, Stuart joins Matt Griffith to reflect on the experiences that shaped his life through football - from moving schools as a child and finding a sense of belonging through the game, to playing in three consecutive premierships and eventually helping lead the club as president.

He also opens up about one of the most challenging periods of his life - his diagnosis with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma - and the family, friends and football community who stood beside him.

It’s a story about football, but even more so, it’s a story about family, belonging, leadership and the communities that help shape our lives.

📻 Tomorrow on Finance Fri-Yay: Managing Inheritance Expectations

Estate planning is about much more than deciding who gets what in your Will.

Did you know that assets such as superannuation, jointly owned property, trusts and certain company assets may not automatically pass through your Will? Or that inherited assets can have different tax implications depending on how they're structured?

Tomorrow morning, Stephen Mamouney joins Matt on 2AY to discuss some of the important questions families should consider when planning for the future:
- Why your retirement, health and aged care needs should come first
- Why “fair” doesn't always mean “equal”
- How family conversations can help manage expectations
- Why a Will is only one part of estate planning
- The importance of understanding how your assets are structured
- When financial, legal and accounting advice may be needed

And perhaps the most important reminder:
“The most valuable inheritance isn't always money - it's leaving your family with clarity, harmony and a plan.”

🎙️ Tune in tomorrow morning at 7:05am on 2AY for Finance Fri-Yay.

When was the last time your family talked about inheritance?

It's a conversation many families avoid.

Parents may worry that discussing their estate plans will create conflict, while children can quietly develop expectations about what they might one day receive.

The problem? Those expectations aren't always aligned.

You don't necessarily need to talk about exact dollar amounts. But having open conversations about the principles behind your decisions can provide clarity and help prevent misunderstandings later.

Is your priority to treat your children equally - or fairly? Have you helped one child financially during your lifetime? Do you want to support your grandchildren or leave something to a cause that's important to you?

🎙️ This Friday on Finance Fri-Yay, Stephen Mamouney discusses why thoughtful planning and communication can be just as important as the inheritance itself.

Should leaving an inheritance come before enjoying your own retirement?

Many parents hope to leave something behind for their children and grandchildren. But your savings have another very important job first... supporting you throughout your retirement!

With Australians living longer and the potential costs of health care and aged care to consider, preserving an inheritance shouldn't come at the expense of your own financial security, comfort and quality of life.

This week on Finance Fri-Yay, Stephen Mamouney is talking about managing inheritance expectations - including why your own needs should come first, the importance of planning ahead and how open conversations can help families avoid misunderstandings later.

📻 Tune into 2AY bright and early this Friday 4th September to hear Stephen's advice.
