The Buddy & Shane Show

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.
Coming off a perfect tipping week (Geelong over Collingwood), Buddy is backing the Cats again — picking Jeremy Cameron as the X-factor against the reigning premiers. Shane disagrees and tips Brisbane, citing the five-day turnaround and Logan Morris stepping up. Plus full breakdowns of Sydney Swans vs Collingwood at the SCG (no Pendlebury, no Moore), Carlton vs Western Bulldogs without Tim English, Fremantle's MCG "rehearsal," and the Gold Coast Suns vs Port Adelaide clash in Darwin.
