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

About this episode

Buddy Franklin and Shane Crawford preview AFL Round 12, discussing key matchups and predictions for the games.

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. 🎙️ NEW EPISODES every Monday & Thursday 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss Buddy's Thursday tips 📞 GOT A HOT TAKE?
