Buddy Franklin Gives Gold Coast Suns Star Ben King An Absolute SPRAY | AFL Round 15 Review

Buddy Franklin is back and firing after his mystery illness, and he's not holding back! In this Round 15 Review, The Buddy & Shane Show breaks down a massive week of AFL action — from Fremantle's relentless march to the top of the ladder and whether the premiership is already theirs to lose, to Hawthorn's stunning win over Gold Coast that has Shane and Buddy both now backing the Hawks to go all the way. The boys get stuck into Gold Coast's underperformance, calling out Ben King for failing to deliver in a big game, debate whether Josh Fraser deserves the Carlton senior coaching job after five wins in a row, and discuss the AFL's big push to take games to India. Plus, the wild card race is heating up — who makes it into the top ten? Don't miss Buddy's Young Star of the Week, the Better Beer Big Moment, and plenty more.
