Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim.
Great to have you company this Tuesday morning. Been a busy show, I tell you what. We've got some royalty in the studio, though. I've got to say, the old whisper's got a bit nervous because Craig Starcevich, who took the Premiership Cup out of his hand back in 1990s in the studio with his, is it nephew, Brandon? Nephew, yep. Nephew, Brandon. Welcome, boys. Great to have you. Thanks for having us.
Get into that microphone nice and close there, Brando. What is the relationship between you two? Frosty. I'll go first, Frosty. What happened back then? You had them covered, didn't you?
That wasn't on my bingo sheet for the first comment Tim was going to throw at me today.
You didn't muck around, did you?
I didn't muck around at all. No, it just brought back a few memories, good ones for him.
All I said was I haven't been able to get over it, Brandon, that's all. I'm quite prepared to say that they were the better team on the day, but I've never been able to get over that 1990 grand final loss, unfortunately.
You have stars.
How many times have you watched it?

Chapter 2: What is the relationship between Brandon and Craig Starcevich?
Crazy. Yeah, the fact that we drew the first week probably helped us hugely and probably disadvantaged you guys.
Yeah, no, there was a lot going on. I know we're not here to talk about that.
Chapter 3: What memorable events shaped Craig's coaching career?
No, let's not talk about that. We did hop on the bus after that and it was just silence all the way back to Windy Hill.
Well, we're not talking about that. You're right, we're not going to talk about it. We're going to talk about a heap of other stuff here.
I want to talk about this before we talk about anything else. Yeah, what do you want? Well, I want to talk about the fact that Brandon's got his head shaven, right? Yeah.
Well, this is what you've come up with. It was all the research you've done.
No, I've got a lot more research than this, but it was very confusing watching the West Coast Eagles go around the other time because you've got a teammate that's gone and shaved his head as well, and it's very hard to tell you apart.
What's going on there? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, Elijah, he sort of jumped on the bandwagon. There's a couple, sort of the world's greatest shaver's gone around recently, so there's a few guys who have done it, but... Yeah, he jumped on the bandwagon. I don't know if he's sticking around for much longer, but yes, I might give the commentators a break.
A hard hitter that the Whists opened up with. You're back playing footy, which is important, given you had great success with the Brisbane Lions. You've gone to the West Coast Eagles. When you go to a new club, all you want to do is play, and you had to wait a couple of weeks, but you've got two under your belt now. So how's that all gone?
Ah, yeah, going well. Good to be back out there, obviously. Yeah, obviously, tough start to life as an Eagle. Missing out in the first few months of the year with some calf problems. But, yeah, happy to be back there playing again and settling in nicely.
And you've got, you know, I don't want to dwell on this, and you can put it to bed straight away, but from the concussion point of view, you're absolutely satisfied and happy that that's all behind you?

Chapter 4: How did Brandon adapt to playing for the West Coast Eagles?
I was in talent for five minutes as well with boys and girls talent. This is the best thing for me at the moment. Can I ask you why? The energy of the group, the gratefulness of the players. Not saying that boys aren't grateful, Brandon, but there's not a night of training, Tim, and this was yesterday, where the girls don't come off the track and say, thanks, coaches.
Didn't matter how much we sort of flogged them on the track. Thanks for the session.
Really?
See you tomorrow. There's always a thank you. And that wouldn't happen in the men's? I think if you ask, possibly, I don't know, whether you walk off and thank.
I don't think I've ever thanked.
Walk past me and say, thanks, mate. Maybe try it when you get back to Perth. It is something. We all look at each other. We've got all male coaches, which is still a bit of a problem for us. We've got to get more female coaches through. So that's a challenge. But from our point of view, we look at each other.
Jeff White has joined our panel just recently and look at White and go, can you believe they still thank us when they walk off the training track?
That is amazing. I think there's an interested dad here who says, can you ask us how the new draftees are going in the preseason? So it might be one of the dads that's asking the question.
They are going really well. For the first time in our history, we drafted four Victorians. There might be a message there for the kids from Melbourne, their footy IQ and so forth. They've been terrific. We often say if we had to pick our team tomorrow, there'd be a couple of them possibly putting their hands up.

Chapter 5: What changes have affected the game of footy recently?
Just tell us about some of that young talent you got to play with.
Yeah, it's pretty impressive.
And you've got a good benchmark given your premiership credentials.
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, probably a different perspective on it. Sort of come to the Lions and was sort of part of that young group that was coming up and get to see it through a different lens and watch him sort of grow. Yeah, Harley's, obviously he's confident, he's talented, but yeah, he seems untackleable at times.
Like he's so strong and he sort of plays without aggression and when he does that, he's pretty hard to stop. And then you mentioned, yeah, Job Shanahan. I had a big last quarter on the weekend, but then, yeah, I think even second quarter, I think he went behind the footy for us and took some big grabs. And yeah, he's growing more confident the more footy he plays.
And yeah, so there's plenty of talent getting around, that's for sure.
Hey, Brian, we're talking a lot about this time of year, players that might move on from their club at the end of the year. You were in this position last year. There was a lot of discussion about, okay, you're going to move on and that type of thing. Can you give us an insight as to how that was handled, say, by yourself and then by the football club?
Yes. Yeah, Brisbane are really good with the whole sort of experience. They were sort of, you know, allowed me to sort of do my thing and explore opportunities. Um, but from my end, it was sort of like let my manager deal with, with most of it. And, um, it was sort of, yeah, around this time last year with,
the buy, mid-year buy, where you can start to sort of think about it a bit more and do some of the meetings and stuff that goes on.
