The Buddy & Shane Show

Buddy Franklin and Shane Crawford preview a loaded AFL Round 12, kicking off with a Thursday-night Saints v Hawks clash at Marvel where the boys debate the Hawthorn star's return from VFL and whether St Kilda can slow the ball up enough to take Hawthorn out of their game. They dig into Carlton's belief revival against the premiership-fancied Cats (and why Jeremy Cameron is a matchup nightmare for the Blues), tip the Swans to roll a young Richmond by 50+, and frame Brisbane v Fremantle as a potential game of the year — with Bud declaring himself a fully signed-up Freo believer despite the out-of-form Lions still sitting as hot favourites. Plus: will anyone FINALLY tag Nick Daicos, can the Giants' momentum carry them past the Dees in Alice Springs, and is Essendon one bad loss in Perth away from heads rolling? Bud also drops his FIRST-EVER two-leg multi after a comedic mid-show meltdown — big calls made, let's get into it.

Lance "Buddy" Franklin and Shane Crawford are back to break down a massive Round 11 weekend — and NostraBuddus is firing! The boys unpack Brisbane's horror show as GWS kicked 14 goals in a single quarter against the reigning premiers, celebrate North Melbourne's stunning comeback (which Buddy called!), and assess Geelong's premiership credentials after knocking off Sydney, while Shane shares the brilliant story of bumping into surfing legend Kelly Slater at his kids' local footy game on the Gold Coast. Buddy also drops a bombshell, naming John Longmire as the man Carlton should be chasing as their next head coach, Lawson Humphrey takes out Young Star of the Week, Bailey Smith wins Player of the Month, Scott Pendlebury's 434-game milestone gets the Better Beer Big Moment it deserves, and Shane lays the blame for AFL's staging epidemic squarely at Matty Lloyd's feet.

Buddy Franklin and Shane Crawford break down a massive AFL Round 10, from Scotty Pendlebury's looming 433-game record and the bold picks for who could one day chase it down, to a Geelong masterclass that has Shane calling the Cats premiership favourites. The boys debate whether Carlton should trade captain Patrick Cripps, react to a wild listener voicemail predicting the Blues sneak into the finals, crown Fremantle teen Murphy Reid as the next must-tag player, and unload on the modern footy trend of "happy losers" — with one club singled out as the worst offender. Plus: Harley Reid's superstar rise, the Demons running rampant at the MCG, and why Sicily needs a "one-second rule." Doug Nicholls Round wrapped, big calls made — let's get into it.
