What is Buddy’s take on the Brownlow Medal frontrunner Nick Daicos?
Lance Franklin joins the 100 Club. People Power has spoken. Who else? Who else but Shane Crawford? Welcome to the Buddy and Shane Show. Hello and welcome to the Buddy and Shane Show. What a massive weekend of prelim finals we had. It's a very special week in the AFL world. Congratulations to the Fremantle Dockers and the Brisbane Lions. They're going to play off in this year's grand final. Good luck to both of them. Bud... Very special week. It's a very special day for me. The Brownlow medal's on tonight. You know, it's where I get to really celebrate. Did he win one or not? Did he win one or? I probably should have won two, but we only want to talk about the one that I won. But what you don't understand, it's a really special night for me.
It's where I can sort of reconnect with my past and my fellow Brownlow winners. And we have a wonderful night and we get to honour the new champion. Whoever that may be, it's still a mystery. Although I've got a feeling Nick Dacos might be a chance. And I know you don't like going to the Brownlow too much, mainly because you haven't won one and you don't get invited. But it is a really special night. Whenever you want to come, I'm happy to take you as my guest. You'll be tuning in and seeing what's happening? Probably not. Probably
not. Probably not. A little bit too late for me, Shane. But, you know, I think Dacos will wrap this up. He's had a sensational season. You know, he's come second maybe two or three times, Croft, which is an incredible start to his career. And fingers crossed Nick can take it out. And I'm hearing they reckon 50-plus votes, which is just absolutely extraordinary in my view.
Why did Hawthorn’s preliminary final against Brisbane end in heartbreak?
That's too many. If he does get that, that's just ridiculous. But well done. Hopefully Nick can get it done.
Now, it'll be great to welcome him to my club. I'm looking forward to doing that tonight. I'm not sure we'll get 50 votes, but what we're going to do today, we're going to talk, obviously, about the prelims. We're going to give you a bit of insight, who might get some votes tonight in the Brownlow Medal, and keep an eye out for those and see how they go. And then we're going to focus on the grand final, which will be our Thursday show, but we're going to put a bit of effort in from there. But What about these qualifying finals? Both teams lost first round of the finals. They had to do it the hard way. Fremantle found a way to get themselves going in the second half against the Swans, and the Brisbane Lions and the Hawks match, well, that was one for the ages.
I'm still trying to get over it. Still in a bit of a coma, but two incredible sides finding their way into the grand final. They've been the best sides all year, especially with Fremantle, and we know how damaging the Brisbane Lions have been. They're going for three in a row, which could happen, but... Let's go to the Hawthorne match. 19-8, 1-2-2. The kicking was great. The beautiful shots for goal were outstanding. And Brisbane, 20-11, 1-3-1. We know what happened towards the end. We know it was – the Hawks got out of the blocks early, kicked a lot of goals in that first quarter, and then the Brisbane Lions just hung
around like a bad smell, bud. What a poor weekend it was for me. Both my teams got beaten, Croft. But, you know, that – the Hawks – let's just
say – The Buddy Franklin curse it was. The Buddy Franklin curse. I
actually still feel sick about this game. I actually still do. I think – Yeah, I thought Hawthorne were gone for all money. When Brisbane got on top, I thought, okay, Brisbane probably win by six, seven goals here.
Was the controversial late free‑kick the correct call?
It was looking that way. And then just the fight and grit by Hawthorne to come back into that contest was just incredible. I think, you know, turned around by Ward kicking the balls to Gunston, but the never-side-die attitude from Hawthorne was second to none. But... I don't know, Croft. Some of the calls for me were massive. I think the impy call was the correct call, no doubt about that. But I just felt the umpire held onto that whistle a little bit too long and forced him, forced him, forced him.
