Throughout his career, he's advised governments, councils, developers, and community groups on some of the state's most significant planning and infrastructure projects.

Despite his remarkable success, Bill remains incredibly humble, thoughtful, and community-minded - qualities that quickly shine through during the chat. Having known each other for many years, BT and Bill share a genuine friendship, which leads to plenty of laughs along the way.

This week Brian and Harrison skip the entrée and go straight to the main… Collingwood fan favourite, Dennis Banks, and with Dennis and BT having played together at the Collingwood Football Club during the 1980s, you’d wonder whether this was setup as an interview or an excuse to catch up. The boys wind back the clock to their playing days at Victoria Park, sharing stories from an era when footy was a little rougher, a little looser, and packed with larger-than-life characters. From life inside the Collingwood Football Club to the friendships that have lasted decades, Dennis reflects on the moments and people that shaped his career. As one of the Magpies' most popular figures, Dennis also talks about what made Collingwood such a unique club and the passion of its supporters.

Joining the boys this week is former AFL player, Heath Shaw. Heater as he's known, is an iconic character of our game, always at the centre of a good time but as hard working as they come. He grew up in a famous Collingwood family, so it was inevitable that he would land at the Pies, the club where he played in the 2010 premiership. Later in his career, he moved to GWS, where he amassed 2x All-Australian's and retired after 325 memorable games. Infamous for some of his off-field antics, he was an active member of Collingwood's 'Rat Pack', a group of players that expressed their colourful personalities with great pride, in an era of football where unique characters were few and far between. In the 2010 Grand Final replay, Heath performed an act that is etched in footy folklore, an act of pure desperation, an act that changed the game and the course of history, we're talking about a 'Smother like no other', a smother that has made him a legend. So legendary in fact, that Toyota has honoured it by dubbing it their latest 'Legendary Moment'.

His path to success was met with countless obstacles and setbacks, but through extreme determination, attention to the details and immense self-belief, he 'climbed the mountain', so to speak on countless occasions. His 20 year career on the bike (both Mountain and Road) is something to behold, from the youngest winner of a MTB World Cup race to the oldest post-war winner of the Tour de France (1 of 3 non-Europeans), he's filled his trophy cabinet: UCI World Race Champion, 4x Olympian, 2x World MTB Champ., 2x Tour de France Runner-Up and I can go on, but above all else, Cadel has an immense level of respect and admiration from his peers and is a true Australian treasure. He was counted out and overlooked on numerous occasions and competed in one of cycling's darkest periods, but he always stayed his course and remained a man of extreme integrity and commendable willpower.
