What made the 2026 AFL Grand Final a historic three‑peat for Brisbane?
Lambs Franklin joins the 100 club. People power has spoken through. Who else but Shane Crawford? Welcome to the Buddy and Shane Show. Hello and welcome to the Buddy and Shane Show. Oh, I'm a little bit sad, you know, it's the last time we're gonna come together for the year. Although we might do a Christmas special and you never know, we might come back and review what's happened over trade season. You just never know. But uh what a AFL grand final. It doesn't get any better than what we saw between the Brisbane Lions and the Fremantle Dockers. Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions. Three in a row. Unbelievable effort and the free metal doctors they're unbelievably brave. It's gonna hurt for a long time, Baden.
You're in town, you're at the game, you're everywhere, you're on a McDonald's ad. You were there for nab. Did is it true that you had to kick a goal and you didn't have much success there as well? What were you doing in Melbourne? Take us through your week and then we'll get into the Brisbane free metal game, bud.
Oh, don't remind me, Shane. Don't remind me. What happened? I did I was doing some work with Nab and it was what three quarter time had to go down onto the ground. No, three quarter time. I had the opportunity to have a set shot from twenty meters out. If she kicked that goal, she wins fifty thousand, or you choose me from fifty meters out. It was cold, it was windy. Anyway, I had to have the shot. She chose me and I nearly kicked I kicked it out of bounds. Straight through? No. Out of bounds. And then they literally just ushered me off and said, get off, please. But uh, no, it was Did she win anything? I think they ended up giving her five thousand. Maybe I think. So she ended up walking away with some money, but um mate, what a Once again, banks jamming ya.
Well, I will say, Croft, what a game to be at though. Like to to go to a grand final like that. We knew it was going to be a close contest. And um, I just feel br pretty blessed to be there on the day to see such a great contest. It was incredible to be there and two gr great clubs going at it. You know, one of the greatest teams of all time now, Brisbane. Um, to go the three P speaks volumes of how good this club is. And And the never say doubt attitude of this team to fight it out to the end, to be down by three goals and then to come back with four minutes to go and win it. It just shows you what a freak team they are. And they've just got champions all over the field and they got it done. But I I do feel for Fremantle.
They were the better team on the day. But when it counts, and I spoke about it last week, Crof, I said experience will come into this, and that's what came into. To it experience. They knew what to do with a couple minutes to go to get the job done. But I I do feel for Fremantle that is a horrible way to lose. And you know, it'll probably haunt them for a long time, Groff.
Seventeen point uh deficit and Brisbane. Somehow come alive and The warfish uh time siren goes off. And I love the fact that Chris Fagan's spoken about that during the week and said, Listen, do you know what? It's it's about getting him home, getting him across the line. He's obviously said to his Brisbane lines, he said, Listen They don't rate you. They think you're done. They think you're cooked. They think you got no chance of coming back. So he totally got into their heads and said You you take this personally, you don't accept what's coming. And it energized the Brisbane Lions group. Dunkley was in the middle sh just stirring everyone up. And away they went. Zach Bailey's goal, the physicality to win that footy and then somehow get it through the goals.
Cameron snap when they needed him. But Crof, I wanted to touch on Ashcroft. Let's look, he should have won the Norm Smith, but what an incredible last quarter. When the game was up for grabs, we we spoke about it during the week. This is the guy they lean on. 12 touches. I think in in Wolfie time, he had, I think, six touches, Crof, in that four-minute period. This is a guy that knows when the game's up for grabs, he needs to step up.
