WHAT is Grand Final week without a bit of flesh being flashed?

Jame Hird and Shane Crawford were the target of an over-excited footy fan while recording their Crawf & Hirdy podcast at The Lounge at Crown on Friday afternoon.

Obviously wanting to make sure she was noticed the young woman went from waving at the two AFL legends through a window to coming up with a much better — if decidedly more revealing — idea to attract their attention.

She lifted her top and gave the shocked — but not speechless — pair an unexpected eyeful.

“We just got flashed,” a stunned Crawford said.

“We just got flashed against the window from a young female who flashed.”

Her bold move worked, she got noticed before being moved on.

It is still unclear if she was a Hawthorn or Essendon fan.

Crawford and Hird have developed a loyal following for their relaxed and funny footy podcast.

If you haven’t heard it yet, it is well worth checking out.

And the pair, along with ringmaster Ralph Horowitz, have been hosting events for their “friends of the pod” family during the AFL finals series at Crown. Former Footy Show funnyman Trevor Marmalade joined them for their Grand Final preview edition.

Speaking of the Footy Show, Crawford said if Thursday night’s Grand Final edition was the last hurrah for the program it had been a dignified final chapter.

“It was a good night, the show was good, and if it is the last show hopefully we have ended on a nice note and everyone had a good time,” Crawford said.

Speaking at a Grand Final eve event on Friday Crawford’s Footy Show castmate Billy Brownless said would be sad the Footy Show was put to rest.

“I think it was our last Footy Show last night (Thursday) which is sad,” he said.

“We’ve been going 25 years.”
