Buddy & Shane's HUGE Grand Final Preview | AFL Grand Final Preview

Grand final week has arrived! Fresh off Brownlow night (huge congrats to Nick Daicos), Buddy and Shane dive straight into Fremantle vs Brisbane. Can the Dockers turn their minor premiership into a fairytale first flag, or does Brisbane's finals experience carry them to a historic three-peat? The boys break down the key head-to-head battles — Luke Jackson's ruck dominance, Brisbane's dangerous small forwards, and whether Fremantle's bottom six can lift on the big stage. There's a Norm Smith tip (it's Ashcroft, obviously), full score predictions, a Kylie Minogue half-time preview, and Buddy's Big Call. One thing's for sure: Melbourne's about to host an absolute cracker. 00:00 — Intro: Brownlow night recap and Nick Daicos crowned 00:28 — Grand final build-up: Fremantle vs Brisbane 01:31 — Bud's case for Brisbane: travel and experience factors 02:41 — Key matchup: Luke Jackson vs the Brisbane ruck 04:22 — Brisbane's dangerous small forwards 06:18 — Fremantle's questions: the bottom six and Mason Cox 07:14 — Chris Fagan's message: physicality and intimidation 08:29 — Set-shot kicking: Fremantle's Achilles heel 09:59 — A different Fremantle: grunt through the middle 10:49 — Score predictions: Bud backs Brisbane by ten 11:45 — Norm Smith Medal tip: Ashcroft to shine 12:58 — First goal picks and Fremantle's fairytale case 14:06 — Kylie Minogue half-time preview 14:38 — Grand final week build-up and a Chris Fagan tribute 17:18 — Buddy's Big Call, brought to you by The Man Shake 17:46 — Sign-off: good luck to both teams Subscribe & Follow 🎙️ Never miss an episode of The Buddy & Shane Show — subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and follow us on TikTok and Instagram @thebuddyandshaneshow.
