Buddy hasn't kicked a footy yet and the comeback is weeks away — but that's not stopping the boys from delivering a massive Round 2 Review. The Bulldogs are Premiership favourites, Essendon's season is already over, and Shane drops a curveball — could Sam Mitchell be the first coach of the Tasmania Tigers?
