About this episode

The episode previews AFL Round 23 with match predictions and team analyses from Buddy and Shane.

Round 23 is here and the boys are locking in their tips before the finals scramble begins. Shane fancies home ground advantage for Fremantle against Adelaide, but Buddy goes the other way with his Big Call, backing the Crows' tall forward line to trouble the Dockers' defence. Richmond and St Kilda, Hawthorn and Collingwood, and a huge QClash between Brisbane and Gold Coast all get the treatment, plus Shane tips an upset for North Melbourne over Geelong while Buddy says the Cats win by four or five goals. There's a look at GWS's injury crisis and Jake Stringer's uncertain contract future, Carlton's charge continues against the Bulldogs, and Essendon's coaching search rolls on ahead of their MCG clash with Sydney. Buddy also locks in his flag favourite.
