  • The best footy show going around

    It is wonderful to listen to the great Buddy Franklin- ably prompted by the personable Shane Crawford. Buddy brings so much experience and incredible insight to the table and they have a really genuine pleasant conversation. More more more in 2026! And keep the tips coming.

  • Too short!

    It’s often great to hear Buddy’s insights on AFL, but the episodes are too short, they never get into deeper analysis beyond surface level stuff. This podcast could be so much better if they delved a bit deeper or just make it longer to allow the guys to talk more to each other.

  • Shane and his Buddy (whomever he is)

    Love hearing the deep insight from the great wannabe Swan, Mr Crawford and his sidekick Buddy. Mr Franklin missed a trick by not being a one team player. He should have insisted on being drafted by the Swans in 2004
