Deserves its own thread here, as again, the Big Footy Community has swallowed the AFL's and the Commercial Media's bulldust, and missed the REAL message being sent out by this article.
Danny Frawley got sick and stressed BECAUSE of the Essendon Drugs Saga, this was the time Danny was working at the AFL Coaches Association, which is where James Brawshaw's brother Mark, now works. Read here for Dannys's comments:

DF: Yeah, that’s him. My role on air at Triple M and Fox was to throw people under the bus, and throw myself under the bus whenever required. But while I was doing that in the media, the Essendon supplement scenario was playing out. No one was prepared for it, no one could have been. I wasn’t ready for it. I was put in charge of the coaches’ association as more of a marketing-type person, and was trying to deal with a crisis that I wasn’t equipped to deal with.
HM: You really struggled to manage the coaches that were involved in the Essendon saga?
DF: Absolutely I did. The thing came out of nowhere and it put everyone on notice, no one more than me. I was dealing behind the scenes with a lot of the Essendon coaches, who were really struggling, and anxious as to how it would all play out. I got a lot of information that was confidential, and yet on the weekend I had to take one hat off, and put another one on for the media. I was really battling with it all. I started losing some sleep, and the more tired I became, the more I had to work. I started running a lot, trying to keep fit and hoping I would sleep, but I couldn’t, so I started drinking a lot, and then I started doing weight sessions, and in the space of three weeks without sleep, something had to give. I was waiting to get the cold, or the flu, or to become run down, but I just kept going. As my father used to say, “Work through it. You’ll be right, son”. So I tried to, and it all came to a head as a nervous breakdown.
Please learn to treat the AFL as a PR machine, and not a footy body (who run a 'competition'), and their motives become clear. Their KPIs are as follows:
1. Money from TV income
2. Their own PR/Image
3. Satisfying Gambling Interests
