Buddy Makes a BRUTAL Call On Alastair Clarkson's & North Melbourne | AFL Round 20 Preview

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 22:30:00 -0000

The boys are back with their Round 20 Preview — and Buddy delivers his BIGGEST call of the year! Shane's a full believer in red-hot Adelaide to take down Collingwood, and he's riding the undefeated Dees all the way to a Grand Final at the MCG — while Buddy nearly tips the wounded Cats before flipping at the last second. It's derby week in the West, with both boys backing Flagmantle to smack their arch rivals by 30+ and Buddy tipping Josh Treacy for a bag. The Battle of the Bridge looms as the Buddy Franklin Cup danger game, plus, "Sorry Mr Clarkson, you're done mate" — the boys tip the Saints in the battle of the teasers, the Dogs to feast on wounded Richmond, and then THE moment: after wrestling with it all week, Buddy locks in Gold Coast to travel to Melbourne and beat Carlton — declaring "the Blues are done!" Shane's on the Blues. Someone's ego is getting bruised Monday.

Was Ken Hinkley The RIGHT Call For The Tassie Job? | AFL Round 19 Review

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 06:28:00 -0000

The Dons are BACK on the winners' list, Ken Hinkley is Tasmania's first-ever coach, and the boys have a massive Round 19 to break down! From Dean Solomon's courageous call to drop McKay and his senior stars — and Buddy naming Essendon's first win the Better Beer Big Moment — to Adelaide's statement upset over Sydney at the SCG that has both boys sliding the Swans OUT of the top four. Shane unveils his full ladder predictor (Flagmantle on top!), Buddy backs Brisbane to finish second and declares Fremantle "a real threat" thanks to their key forward firepower. The King vs Lewis debate gets heated as Buddy shuts down the Ben King-to-Hawthorn talk — "too top heavy" — and reveals why you need TWO gun key forwards to win a flag. Plus, what on earth is going on with the Giants losing to bottom sides, Bud calls Richmond's performance "embarrassing, Don't miss Buddy's Young Star of the Week, the Better Beer Big Moment, the most bizarre injuries in AFL history, and plenty more.

Buddy Makes a HUGE Call Ending This Teams Season | AFL Round 19 Preview

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 22:54:00 -0000

Buddy just missed last weeks big call with north... But is he doubling down? In this Round 19 Preview, The Buddy & Shane Show runs through every game of the round — from St Kilda's golden chance to knock off a wounded Geelong with no Jeremy Cameron (does Ross Lyon get sacked if they lose?), to a Friday night cracker at the SCG where Buddy backs his Swans against Jordan Dawson's red-hot Crows. The boys map out Zac Butters' shock path to the Brownlow, debate whether Port's injury-hit season finally goes over the cliff, and Buddy doubles down on Gold Coast — backing them to bounce back even though their own coach says they can't make finals. Plus, Buddy's brutal verdict on Carlton's season, the one-theme fix that could save Essendon, and a Big Call that leaves Shane speechless: North Melbourne to stun the rampaging Dees.

Has Damien Hardwick Lost The Playing Group? & Which Team You DON'T Want To Play In Finals | AFL Round 18 Review

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 06:31:00 -0000

Buddy Franklin is officially BACK — he's laced up the boots for the 2026 Legends Match, and the boys have a huge Round 18 to break down! In this Round 18 Review. From Fremantle's terrifying 15-goal second half against Sydney that has Shane rating them above Brisbane as premiership favourites, to the Giants' stunning nine-goal final quarter comeback over a wounded Geelong. The boys don't hold back on Damien Hardwick's extraordinary week — his "mathematically can't make finals" claim and THAT mums' basement spray — with Buddy's blunt message: focus on the craft. Plus, what's happened to Nick Larkey's goalkicking, the Ross Lyon and Lachie Neale saga takes another twist, Buddy declares Pendlebury and Sidebottom are "probably both done" at Collingwood, the head-rub free kick sends the boys into meltdown (put the whistle away!), and Buddy drops a bombshell on Carlton's season.

Buddy Makes A MASSIVE Call On Who Misses The Grand final | AFL Round18 Preview

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:12:00 -0000

Buddy Franklin is back with his hottest tipping streak of the season — and this week he's dropped his most controversial Big Call yet! In this Round 18 Preview, The Buddy & Shane Show runs through every game of the round — starting with the Thursday-night blockbuster between top-two sides Fremantle and Sydney in Perth, where Buddy makes a stunning claim: Fremantle will NOT make the grand final. The boys break down Fremantle's questionable backline and why Charlie Curnow could be the difference, debate whether North Melbourne can shut down Nick Daicos, and get stuck into the great goal-kicking incentives debate (does paying players to kick goals reward selfishness?). Plus, Shane fires up again over Carlton refusing to even interview Josh Fraser, the Mad Bagger returns with the hottest take this side of the sun, and the boys crown the best pests and swingmen in footy history. Don't miss Buddy's Big Call and plenty more.

"This Is Our Premiership List" — Now They're 14th: Gold Coast Season Is OVER! | AFL Round 17 Review

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 09:16:00 -0000

Buddy Franklin is riding the hottest tipping streak in footy — and this week his massive Call on GWS landed! In this Round 17 Review, The boys break down a huge weekend of AFL action — from the Giants' stunning upset of ladder-leaders Fremantle that has Buddy warning nobody wants to face GWS in the run home, to the real question marks it exposed over Flagmantle's premiership credentials. The boys go deep on what's actually gone wrong at Gold Coast, with Buddy arguing it's the leadership group — not just the coach — behind six straight losses, before delivering a blunt verdict on Damien Hardwick's long-term deal. Plus, Shane's ripping story on how escalating fines really change the way you play, the great "most frustrating team to watch" debate (is it Sydney or North Melbourne?), where Zac Butters lands, and whether GWS should pack up and move to Canberra.

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 05:36:00 -0000

Buddy Franklin is back from the premiere of his marathon documentary The Long Run — and the boys waste no time getting stuck into a huge Round 16! In this Round 16 Review, The Buddy & Shane Show breaks down a massive week of AFL action — from Fremantle's relentless 14-game run to the top of the ladder and whether they can go all the way, to Brisbane's brutal demolition of the Swans that has Buddy questioning Sydney's depth. The boys don't hold back on Gold Coast's collapse from premiership favourites to 11th, with Buddy declaring Stuart Dew would've been sacked if he weren't Damien Hardwick, plus a big call that Zac Butters is the best player in the competition and worth far more than Richmond's reported $18 million. Shane goes on a full soapbox rant about clubs letting their best kicks waste time kicking in from fullback, Buddy backs Hawthorn's "even" list and Sam Mitchell to win it all, and the boys break down how the new umpire stats could reshape the Brownlow — with Nick Daicos tipped to poll big.

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.

Buddy Backs Bottom Side To Win BIG! | AFL Round 12 Preview

Wed, 27 May 2026 21:47:00 -0000

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.
