Buddy Franklin is back and firing after his mystery illness, and he's not holding back! In this Round 15 Review, The Buddy & Shane Show breaks down a massive week of AFL action — from Fremantle's relentless march to the top of the ladder and whether the premiership is already theirs to lose, to Hawthorn's stunning win over Gold Coast that has Shane and Buddy both now backing the Hawks to go all the way. The boys get stuck into Gold Coast's underperformance, calling out Ben King for failing to deliver in a big game, debate whether Josh Fraser deserves the Carlton senior coaching job after five wins in a row, and discuss the AFL's big push to take games to India. Plus, the wild card race is heating up — who makes it into the top ten? Don't miss Buddy's Young Star of the Week, the Better Beer Big Moment, and plenty more.

Buddy's back after being taken out by illness — and he's come back swinging! In this Round 14 Preview, The Buddy & Shane Show dives into the Gold Coast Suns' player exodus crisis (Ben King, Humphrey, Jed Walter all linked away), debate whether Zac Butters is now the best player in the competition ahead of Isaac Heeney, and get stuck into Essendon's ongoing management problems. Plus, who should coach Carlton, Essendon, and the new Tasmania side? Buddy makes a surprise call on Cameron Bruce for Carlton. There's a hilarious throwback to Buddy's early Hawthorn days living with Shane as his reluctant nightclub babysitter, and Jake Waterman's goal-kicking yips get the expert treatment from one of the game's greatest forwards.

What a weekend of AFL footy — six games decided by 8 points or less and Buddy nearly called the upset of the season! In this week's Round 13 Review, The Buddy & Shane Show breaks down every big moment: St Kilda's stunning 33-point lead over Sydney that just slipped away, Carlton's four-in-a-row under caretaker coach Josh Fraser and whether he's outsmarting everyone by refusing the job, North Melbourne's horror 124-point hiding in Bunbury, and Adelaide's incredible one-point win over Geelong. Plus, the boys pay tribute to the Big Freeze and Neale Daniher, debate whether AFL coaches should have to walk through hostile opposition crowds, go head-to-head on who wins the 2026 premiership, and hand out their Brownlow Medal and Rising Star picks. Don't miss Buddy's big, big premiership tip that'll light up the internet. Like, subscribe and drop your tips in the comments!
