When Majak 'fell' off a bridge it was obvious what had happened but a lot of people wanted to believe otherwise.
Now with Frawley's single-vehicle single-occupant motor vehicle 'accident' it is obvious what has happened but a lot of people want to believe otherwise.
As I get older I am slowly coming to accept that this is just how people are. Humans are highly emotional creatures.
There are certain elements of society and existence which many people would prefer to ignore (or prefer other people ignore).
You can criticise the media and those who work within it, but they are tapping into human thirst for 'news' i.e. drama and raw emotion.
Look at all of the people who couldn't wait to tune in for the AFL shows last night, many of whom normally wouldn't be tuning in.
Watching Frawley's colleagues (some of whom are no doubt friends) mourn on camera just hours after the event must have made for compelling viewing.
I like the idea of a genuine Golden Fist award. I never watched The Bounce (apart from one episode) but I understand the idea behind it.
If the AFL and related bodies play this properly, they will be able to make something good come out of a horrible situation.
Naturally my condolences and best wishes go out to everybody affected by Frawley's passing.
