This week Brian and Harrison skip the entree and go straight to the main meal... Collingwood Magpies legend, former Sydney Swans National Recruiting Manager and great mate of BT's, Ricky Barham.

Ricky is a life member of 2x AFL clubs after a stellar 10 year career as a dashing and skilful wingman for Collingwood (playing in 5x Grand Finals) and 21 years playing various roles at the Sydney Swans, primarily their National Recruiting Manager. Barham played a pivotal role in putting together Sydney's 2005 and 2012 Premiership teams. Ricky and Brian met when BT joined the pies 85', they've been good mates ever since and now spend their days going fishing and sipping lattes in Lorne, VIC.

The conversation hit so many areas; what is a recruiter looking for in a player, draft night stories, 'stealing' Gaelic players from Ireland, Collingwood playing days, Lorne fishing comps. and plenty more. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
