The Buddy & Shane Show

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.

The Buddy & Shane Show is back with a massive AFL Round 10 2026 preview. Buddy and Shane run through every fixture of the round, deliver bold tips, debate the Brisbane Lions vs Geelong Cats grand final rematch, and lock in Bud's Big Call for Thursday night footy at the Gabba.
