Dusty’s good friend Hargraves is the innocent bride caught up in the latest Bachelor controversy, which saw cast member Belinda Robinson ejected from the show.The beauty expert and Dusty have been mates for years, with Tatum’s father Mick playing a key role in the Richmond legend’s success through his boxing fit gym. The 26 year old black-haired Bachelorette who is looking to impress ‘The Bachelor’ Jimmy Nicholson is quite handy herself with a pair of boxing gloves. She is often seen punching the bag at her dad’s Box Fit gym or undertaking aerobic activities with other clients, so cast members watch out.The Port Melbourne resident was an innocent bystander on Thursday night’s program dressed in a white wedding dress for a photo shoot, as she watched on as fellow Bachelorette Belinda Robinson completely ruined the wedding photography scene by almost grabbing Nicholson’s crotch. LANGDON WANTS TO PARTY WITH BUDDYPopular Nine Network presenter Allison Langdon wants Swans’ star Buddy Franklin to play on next year even if he does kick his 1000th goal this season. The Today Show host would love Franklin to kick 19 goals in the last five games of this year’s home and away season and play off for the premiership at the MCG on the last Saturday in September. “Ill be down there even if the Swans aren’t in the grand final but we both know they will be,” Langdon said this week. “Buddy just has to stay fit, kick a couple more goals; only a couple (if they are to make the grand final).” Buddy sits on 981 majors and will look to add to his tally against the Fremantle Dockers. The 34-year-old star sits 6th on the all time goal kicking list behind Gary Ablett Snr (1031), Doug Wade (1057), Jason Dunstall (1254), Gordon Coventry (1299) and Tony Lockett (1360). “I love watching Buddy creating opportunities for his teammates compared to a few years back, which is understandable given the superstar he is.“Its going to be really interesting to see what happens when he gets close to his 1000th goal mark, because the players will all want him to reach it (milestone) and I wonder if its going to change their game.”Born in country New South Wales, Langdon grew up a rugby league fan. When she met her husband Mike, any affiliation with league was thrown out the proverbial door. Mike is the son of Mike Willesee Snr who saved the Swans back in the late 80s, with Langdon becoming a devout Swans fan. Despite Victoria’s tough Covid lockdown laws, Langdon wants the AFL grand final played at the home of football.Perth is becoming a viable option as is Brisbane, with Adelaide still part of the discussion.“I felt so much for Melbourne last year. As great as it was for Brisbane last year to have the grand final at the Gabba, it doesn’t feel right not to have it at the MCG. “Things are looking pretty good for Melbourne. I reckon we’ll see the grand final at the MCG and when that happens we’ll know all is right with the world once again. “Wouldn’t that be nice. I don’t know about a capacity crowd, but I reckon there will be a good chance of 75,000 fans,” she said. Buddy turns 35 next January and is more than likely to play the final year of his nine year deal. That is if Sydney isn’t victorious holding the cup aloft. “This is how I see this year play out, Swans win the premiership, he’s still got something to give the team and he’s still going to be back in 2022,” Langdon said. “I don’t think we really gave them a chance at the beginning of the year. “I think not one of the captains or coaches put the Swans in their top 8 and they could now well finish within the top four. “I reckon they can take the premiership. I am slightly biased. I think they’re looking really good.” “It’d be nice to have a fun night out with him (Buddy) and the boys, wouldn’t it?” The breakfast TV host said she would do her utmost to get Buddy on the Today Show at the end of September with a premiership. “I’ve never met him properly but how could he say no to such an avid Swannies fan.” OUT AND ABOUTEssendon chief executive Xavier Campbell and AFL head of finance and broadcasting Travis Auld were spotted this week pounding the pavement at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast. The pair are currently staying in south east Queensland where some AFL clubs are based to continue the Covid-hit season that has seen games cancelled in Victoria and NSW.
