What was the most we lost in a row under Danny?

[Harvey Leadpipe]

Because if Sheedy overtakes him, is it fair to say Frawley was a better coach than the plumber?

[The Dice Man]

Sheeds has as many premierships as Frawley has spoons(actually frawley owns 6 spoons)

I think we lost 13 in a row under Frawley and that Terry's first match was our 14th loss.

[jezza]

We lost 14 in a row to end 2004. Terry's 1st game was our 15th loss.

[The Dice Man]

You sure bout that Jezza?

down the bottom. Started in round 9 against Port, ended round 22 against Sydney.

Interestingly not once did we break 100 points in that time and only once did we keep the opposition under 100 points. Not good times at all (except for the Deledio thing)

That is right. After that first loss the count was to continue so the media thought.

Whats Frawleys overall record as a player/psuedo coach ???

[jezza]

As a coach he won 44 from 110 in the regular season and 1 from 3 in finals.

[The Dice Man]

Whats Frawleys overall record as a player/psuedo coach ???


4 spoons as a player:D
1 spoon as an ass-coach at Collingwood:D
1 spoon as coach at Richmond:mad:

6 spoons in total. Could well be a record.

:DLMAO What a seasoned monkey boy.

I still hate that bastard which makes it all the funnier.

Of his playing career,

I wonder how many times the saints ended up 2nd last.etc. lofl.

I wonder how many goals he conceeded to oppsosition 4wards?

I wonder how many points the saints conceeded with him at the helm.

I wonder all these things.

[The Dice Man]

I still sympathised with him and kinda felt sorry for him to an extent..u know the good bloke persona and all..

But that evaporated completley when I learnt he wore ****ing StKilda socks in that game, and made OUR player stay on field to clap of HIS mate!!!


Now whenever I see or hear him on radio or Tv I feel like throwing up.

[froars]

You're a haunted man, Oxx lol
Does memories of him still give you nervous twitches - in your neck i'm talking about lol
God I wish another team would pick him up as coach just so I could have a few laughs again courtesy of Oxx and JohnF.
Life just hasn't been the same without his words of wisdom :D

LMAOOOOOOOO oxx :thumbsu:

I wonder whether when he was playing and tilted his head back on one of those many occasions to see another 6 pointer go sailing through, he pepped himself up a little, to keep it upbeat and put out a positive vibe to the team.

(Muttering to himself): "it's ok Dannyboy, it's only one more. But you'll stop the next one. Just like that one you stopped Simon Beasley from kicking the day you lined up on him on his 40th birthday. Now THAT was a good day. You kept him to 6 that day. Which was the same day I picked up Anita for that date. Geez I looked cherry ripe that night, pity I was 10% off my game later on. But I stuck fat, and now we're....What the? Oh s***! ....Oh well, it's ok Dannyboy, it's only one more............"

[TonyFree]

Off topic, but the way he handled the Matty Knights thing makes me cringe, IMO Knighter still had a couple of years left.

[1980]

On Frawley's coaching record, he is the only coach you dont count the number of games he lost in a row, but the number of months

You gotta wonder where his head was at coaching that match (and the other 109) but this one especially.

Obviously by wearing the socks he felt emotionally comprimised, but what are the chances he coached for a loss in that game?

[oxx]

In a fu cked up way ,he brought us all together on at least one issue - His shortcomings.

I have great laff with u guys at his expense - seriously lol stuff.

The best part is watching him go on for the rest of his life in denial.

Football sure allows Lemmings to have a career.

Fcuken ROLMFAOOO

[tugga]

His treatment of Knighter was the biggest disgrace I have encountered in football in all my life. I will never forgive the twat for that. Went and drafted hacks but yet still found it necessary to retire the little general with no dignity. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark!

[oxx]

What a stupid dumbfcuk !

He tried so hard to pollute our club with his loserdom.

[CoggaRules]

and the laughs and busted tv screens are set to continue, going by reports that C7 are impressed with the Dud's, "expert" comments and are looking at adding him to their team. WTF???
They must understand that there are pluses in ratings, in having someone in front of the screen that creates angst amongst the punters.
It would be a good idea if all tiger heads, boycotted any game that this Dud commentated on. And the games where we cant, i.e. tiger games, hit him with a million calls, that suggest the same thing, get the F**k out of our sight ya Dud!!!!
Or if yor prefer the polite, positive approach, congratulate him on getting Lids and Bling to the club, with his "expert" coaching practices. ;)

[Parabola]

The strange thing about watching Danny Frawley coach was how his hair changed color every week.
I think he just became overwhelmed with the media and was too focused on looking for quick fixes than totally rebuild the club.
He got alot of great kids to the club but they just weren't ever given a chance in the seniors till plough came along.

what game? did he? what a nkewar<-(letter shuffle)

[FSUB10Y]

It is just plain wrong to refer to Frawley as a coach....he was simply a caretaker when Richmond was not in a position to attract anyone decent(I think he was about our 6th or 7th preference when he got the gig)....he was fair dinkum lucky that we had to get rid of our tag of being ruthless to coaches and only completed his compliment so we could show some stability in this dept.......in order to attract better coaches down the track.

In the end, the whole club suffered....

[tugga]

what game? did he? what a nkewar<-(letter shuffle)
Nathan Burke's last game for St Kilda. The prick wore St Kilda socks to the game and stood out on the field and clapped him off at the end. Never mind we'd just lost (another) game. F*ck i was having an OK day up until I started posting on this thread. I wanna smash my comp screen.

so we kept him to tell the world that we dont sack coaches, even when the coach is a dud that all and sundry were aware of?
So you really think that TW, saw how we kept "faith" in Spud, hence p***ised money up against the wall, by having him for 5 years and that would have made it clear to TW that the tigers were indeed a smart unit, that knew exactly what it was doing huh?
The dud gets away with it, because the majority believe that kind of BS, that says we did it to remove that tag. Knowing how smart an operator GM is, he saw how having spud there, could get us what we wanted, without the need to explain to all and sundry why we kept him, when the media was doing it for him. ;)

Face facts boys !!

We miss the big dud :p

[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danny_Frawley&action=edit&section=1)]

Football career

Recruited from Ballarat, where he was a potato farmer, Frawley initially played as a forward but soon became a renowned full-back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_%28Australian_rules%29_positions#Full_Back). He was a long-serving captain of the St Kilda Football Club (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Kilda_Football_Club) and enjoyed a career from 1984-1995.
[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danny_Frawley&action=edit&section=2)]

Coaching career

Frawley took up the coaching reigns at the Richmond Football Club (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Football_Club) in 2000, and had some early success, taking the Tigers to the finals in 2001. Unfortunately he couldn't replicate the club's first finals appearance since 1995 again during his tenure, with his team always getting off to solid starts (in 2002 making the Wizard Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_Cup) final), but then fading out towards the end of the season. This continued in 2003, where, after a 6-2 start to the season, they lost 13 of their next 14 matches.
Frawley took his team to the wooden spoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_spoon) in 2004, and midway through the season announced he would be stepping down at season's end.
Since he left coaching he has been a special comments man for Triple M (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_M). He is married to Anita.
In June 2006, he coached a victorious Victorian State of Origin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Origin) side in the AFL Legends Match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL_Legends_Match)

Danny Frawley
Recruited from Ballarat, where he was a potato farmer, Danny Frawley made his debut for the St Kilda Football Club in 1984, at the age of 20.

Initially playing as a forward, Danny Frawley soon made his name as a renowned fullback playing 226 games from 1984 to 1995, including 9 years as captain. Frawley was chosen as a Victorian state representative in 1987 and the following year as in the All-Australian team, the same year he won St Kilda's Best and Fairest.

After a prodigious playing career, Danny Frawley took up the coaching reigns at the Richmond Football Club in 2000 and, with almost immediate success, took the Tiger to the finals in 2001, their first finals appearance since 1995. However, his tenure at the club finished in 2003 and Danny Frawley has since left coaching to begin a media career, most notably as a special comments man for Triple M.

After a prodigious playing career, that had the mantlepiece re-modelled with a more wooden feel, Danny Frawley took up the coaching reigns at the Richmond Football Club in 2000 and, with almost immediate success had K. Sheedy to thank for elevating him from a coach of a team that finished 9th, to a team that finished 8th, with almost immediate success for K.sheedy in that the next week, that same team that the Frawley "coached'; tigers beat to get in, pants the tigers and made them look second rate, took the Tiger to the finals in 2001, their first finals appearance since 1995, by default, in reality the singular pointer to anthing remotely aligned to a success that Spud could actually point to in his CV However, his tenure at the club finished in 2003 and Danny Frawley has since left coaching, to the plaudits of the crowd to begin a media career, to once again revive his fan club , most notably as a special comments man for Triple M, yes the mostest notable.

I reckon you guys should make your own enquiries too;)

In a couple of days we'll see in the HUN that Danny Frawley has been fielding offers from all over the country, but no bookings are confirmed as he doesn't want to possibly miss a phone call about a head coaching job. Afterall, he does have unfinished business you know.

I never heard the sock story before, disgraceful, but my opinion of him couldn't get any lower after he dropped Matthew Knights for one week when he was to break the most consecutive games played record.

rofl at danny thinking he is actually there to do a good job and everyone is behind him, when in actual fact he is just keeping the seat warm for a real coach. i can imagine the staff at punt road during his reign just shaking thier heads every week at the drivel that came out of his mouth. or was it possum poo?

[Darth_Tiger]

He should be kept in that little section of Punt road,under the bridge on your left as u head toward the Sth Eastern - in a cage. and we can all stop there after a loss and poke him with sticks.

heck yeah!!! wouldnt that be awesome. love the idea of hiring him as a motivational speaker too. this thread has had me just about peeing my pants with laughter. danny - you tool.

someone should make danny frawley dolls that when you squeeze him he says: 'cherry ripe', 'yeah nah', 'stick fat', 'i stick by my players until the cows come home' etc etc. i would buy one.

[Darth_Tiger]

just had a great idea. someone should ring up and book him to speak to the swans before saturdays game. i am sure the rfc would pay for it.

First things first... I hate Tony Free.

Secondly, you're wrong about Knighter. Get over it.
Agree (except the bit about Free). Knighter was getting caught with it and his disposal had slipped. Was tried as tagger but he was never going to adapt and he couldn't get the ball when stationed in the forward line.

What Frawley did wrong was forcing Knighter out without a viable succession plan. Still not sure who he had groomed as a replacement - Fiora? King? Ednie?

[Ron The Bear]

4 spoons as a player:D
1 spoon as an ass-coach at Collingwood:D
1 spoon as coach at Richmond:mad:

6 spoons in total. Could well be a record.
Not wishing to make fun of Trevor Barker, but the poor bloke played in 7 spoon sides - 1977, 79, 83, 84, 85, 86 & 88.

LM AO Boys and girls.

I'd buy the doll too Darth.lol.

It comes with its own 7 inch needles so we can voodoo the prick during the mmm call,

"Yeah,nah,the backline looks really AAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHH......"

[froars]

But wait, there's more lol. Should play some Jaws theme music with this one. Another Frawley playing footy. Could we make Ox's year by drafting him. Go on Tiges lol.

Nice pic of Danny - does the size of your head equate to brain power? Head seems out of kilter with his body, and such an endearing goofy grin lol

[oxx]

I tell u what,
I'd be more than willing to give any kid a chance
but surely that last name is a huge minus at the RFC.

Knighter was gone. Everyone could see it, but to finish him up before the season had finished when our season was shot anyway was an absolute disgrace and you know it. He almost singlehandedly won the semi against the Bummers in 95 and yet he was sacked (no he didn't retire) with little to no dignity at all.

[oxx]

Was there more to it than that.

Could Knights have just simply refused to work with the dud,but kept it on the low down?

[Darth_Tiger]

rofl at the image of danny clutching his chest in agony as the pain of 30,000 needles rips through his body. :thumbsu:

classic that danny says in the article that he has had little to do with his development. he IS a chance to be drafted then. if we drafted him would he wear st. kilda socks when he makes his debut?

[tugga]

He's only his nephew, so there's hope for him yet.

Not when you look at his bloodlines

Maybe Tugga, but playing off the bench wouldn't have helped.

If the kids any good its pretty obvious the dud had nothing to do with his development.

Some pretty funny posts on this thread, particularly by TDM and Oxx. Nothing like a good frawley bashing thread to bring some mirth back to the board. :thumbsu:

[FSUB10Y]

so we kept him to tell the world that we dont sack coaches, even when the coach is a dud that all and sundry were aware of?
So you really think that TW, saw how we kept "faith" in Spud, hence p***ised money up against the wall, by having him for 5 years and that would have made it clear to TW that the tigers were indeed a smart unit, that knew exactly what it was doing huh?
The dud gets away with it, because the majority believe that kind of BS, that says we did it to remove that tag. Knowing how smart an operator GM is, he saw how having spud there, could get us what we wanted, without the need to explain to all and sundry why we kept him, when the media was doing it for him. ;)

Sorry Cogga, but you are WRONG!!

I don't know how TW saw read the situation, however I know for a fact that they kept Frawley on for this reason and this reason alone......Casey and Jewell talked about sacking him late into his 3rd year, but he was kept on SIMPLY because they were trying to show the world that the club was 100% behind the coach, unlike past administrations.....my source - Football Director at the time and last Premiership Coach!!

yeah, that is what was printed in the papers man. Your source? So you really believe that "your" source was going to tell you that we kept him on because he was a sh-iteful coach and there was no need to deflect questions about tanking games to get priority picks, when you have that kind of coach?, allbeit, also giving the "impression" to all and sundry that we dont sack our coaches, even if they are sh-iteful?
Wasnt your source the one that suggested in the media that Spud had NFI when it came to a game plan? Get real man, TW was always going to be our coach after Brownie "chose" us. The next piece of the puzzle was to get the best available youngsters for TW to be able to start with. ;)

My source - one Tony Jewell, Football Dirctor at the time....can't get much better than that......TJ even questioned Spuds ability after about half a dozen matches....his words " Spud has no idea, but we're stuck with him now" or to that affect.

Thanks for coming!!
