Spud hits air

LIFE after football begins tonight for former Richmond coach Danny "Spud" Frawley.
Experts' tips

After 21 years as a player, assistant and senior coach, Frawley will make his debut in the radio commentary box for Triple M.


"I must say this week has been strange and I am a bit restless especially watching my old club (St Kilda) against Brisbane," Frawley said.


He also admitted that while Richmond was good to him as coach, his heart belongs with the Saints.


"Deep down, I will always be a St Kilda man as I have left a lot of my body as a player on Moorabbin and my best mates are from there. Stewart Loewe, Nathan Burke and Robert Harvey are all big parts of my life," he said.


After quitting as coach last year, Frawley has kept his distance from Punt Rd, although he has kept in regular contact with Andrew Krakouer.


Frawley will be on air on Sunday when the Tigers tackle Geelong.


Andrew's father, Jimmy, has flown across from Western Australia to watch his son play for the first time after serving time in a Perth jail.


"It will be a special day for Jimmy. I always remember him asking me while in jail to look after Andy as if he was my own son," Frawley said.

We know he will always be a Saint.. As demonstrated by Assistant coach of Collingwood in a wooden Spoon year, and of course senior coach last year.

It's what he knows best.

Someone should do a count on how many spoons he has been involved in.

Danny Frawley is sooooo last year!

Spud has brought us a lot of pain in his 5 years at the club....however if it wasn't for him we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now. Lets count our lucky stars that we had him as senior coach for 5 years!!

I'm concerned that he still keeps in contact with Andy K, if this continues then I think Andy will have to be traded at years end. I'm sure the kangas will throw us a few first rounders for him.

Interesting you say that PRR. If the Kanga's were to finish in the bottom 3 and had a priority pick, would we trade Krak for lets say...the 4th pick in the draft???

Depends on his season this year I guess, if he lives up to undeniable talent, maybe not, if he struggles again, maybe it would be considered.

You tiger fans kidding

You Tiger fans are kidding.

You all keep blaming Frawley, what about some of your gutless, well paid blokes who play half a game and give up every week. You also blame richo whenever you lose. What about all the other losers you have.

Better to focus the blame within than try and sook your way through the salary cap and draft concession argument for losing Grand Finals. Of you pop to the Pies board newbie.

Am sure you guys must be just devastated to hear that. Frawley's problem, apart from being a crap coach, was that all he had ever known was spoons and failure. Much better off without him.
How Hawthorn and Richmond both made Prelim's in 2001 with Frawley and Schwab at the helm is beyond me. The only way is up now.

Rotten dog !

I hope he dies of ars cancer.

First intelligent comment i've heard from you re: Richmond.
Tiges and Hawks have done well with getting both new coaches. Clarkson will do well for the Hawks from what i've seen and heard. Was impressed with the Saints game in the Wizz cup. Reminded me of how Northey had us playing. Crap list, but had us running in numbers, supporting hard, and playing spirited team football. Will be interesting to see how both clubs go.

GO TIGES!!!

 

[Darth_Tiger]

frawley may always be a saint, but at punt road he will always be a sinner.

 

[Fwoy]

i was joking habib.

U always make me larf Oxx

 

[julzqld]

Well doesn't that say it all. Just like Paul Hudson never really got over the Western Bulldogs and Blumfield never really over Essendon.

At least Tezza, Browny, Simmonds, Sugar all wanted to come to Richmond. Let's hope Knobel feels the same.

 

[Thrice3]

Screw frawley. id rather him 'always be a saint' then say hes 'heart is with Richmond'
