Early football

Starcevich is from Western Australia, [2] and was a Fremantle Dockers fan in his youth. [3] He originally played for Mt Lawley-Inglewood Junior Football Club. Starcevich joined West Australian Football League club East Perth, playing 20 colts games across 2016–17 and averaging 13 disposals. [4] He also played B Grade cricket for the Stirling Hawks Cricket Club with Daniel Pryce, athletics and football for Trinity College. Starcevich played for Western Australia in the 2017 AFL Under 18 Championships and attended the AFL Draft Combine. [3] However, he was limited by a quad injury. Starcevich tested at the WA State Draft Combine and won the 20 m (66 ft) sprint with a time of 2.87 seconds. [5] He was drafted by Brisbane with pick 18 in the 2017 national draft, their third selection, and was described as a 'contested bull'. [2]

AFL career

In 2018, Starcevich recorded five tackles and nine disposals in his debut against North Melbourne in round 20 [1] after strong form in the North East Australian Football League. [6] Soon after, he signed a two-year contract extension, tying him to Brisbane until 2021. [1] In the 13th round of the 2020 AFL season, he earned a 2020 AFL Rising Star nomination for his performance against St Kilda, where he collected 10 disposals and took four marks. [7]

Starcevich was a member of the Lions squad narrowly defeated by Collingwood in the 2023 AFL Grand Final. The following year, he was part of the Brisbane Lions 2024 premiership winning team in a 60-point victory over the Sydney Swans. [8]
