Lance "Buddy" Franklin and Shane Crawford are back to break down a massive Round 11 weekend — and NostraBuddus is firing! The boys unpack Brisbane's horror show as GWS kicked 14 goals in a single quarter against the reigning premiers, celebrate North Melbourne's stunning comeback (which Buddy called!), and assess Geelong's premiership credentials after knocking off Sydney, while Shane shares the brilliant story of bumping into surfing legend Kelly Slater at his kids' local footy game on the Gold Coast. Buddy also drops a bombshell, naming John Longmire as the man Carlton should be chasing as their next head coach, Lawson Humphrey takes out Young Star of the Week, Bailey Smith wins Player of the Month, Scott Pendlebury's 434-game milestone gets the Better Beer Big Moment it deserves, and Shane lays the blame for AFL's staging epidemic squarely at Matty Lloyd's feet.

Buddy Franklin and Shane Crawford break down a massive AFL Round 10, from Scotty Pendlebury's looming 433-game record and the bold picks for who could one day chase it down, to a Geelong masterclass that has Shane calling the Cats premiership favourites. The boys debate whether Carlton should trade captain Patrick Cripps, react to a wild listener voicemail predicting the Blues sneak into the finals, crown Fremantle teen Murphy Reid as the next must-tag player, and unload on the modern footy trend of "happy losers" — with one club singled out as the worst offender. Plus: Harley Reid's superstar rise, the Demons running rampant at the MCG, and why Sicily needs a "one-second rule." Doug Nicholls Round wrapped, big calls made — let's get into it.
