Brant is currently now under employment in the Western Australia, Pilbara region excelling as a barge master in the marine industry. Due to rising tensions between supervision, it is Brant’s responsibility to keep the peace between the barges. Due to this on going issue, we may see Brant back on the field in the near foreseeable future. He will be sorely missed by his upper superior, captain FOT. FOT will ensure his debts to the 500 Barge fridge will be cleared before moving on.{{cite news | url=http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/wafl/14223238/chambers-looms-as-lions-finals-weapon/ | title=Chambers looms as Lions finals weapon | work=The West Australian | date=13 July 2012 | accessdate=14 July 2012 | author=Townsend, John}}
