BARRETT: For the love of Spud, let the laughter live on forever

Damian Barrett was a close friend and colleague of Danny Frawley. Here are some of his best memories of the man called Spud

Probably more likely the AFL.com.au editor than Barrett himself, but extremely poor taste - particularly the app notification. Barrett's piece on Frawley in the article was fine.

yes. ding dong? what the hell is that?

if i was a family member and saw "IF" i'd be pretty offended. it's not something for damo's gimmicky column.

That’s the afl.com editor not damo, damo was good mates with him. Terrible wording from afl.com, 360 was unbelievable to watch, so raw, Garry was on this morning and spoke really well, was great radio, he also mentioned about how many people have gotten in touch with him asking how he was, which he was thankful for

Petty poor taste for sliding doors. Wow

As hard as it was watching and as sad as the circumstances are, deny, deny, deny, violence, s**t tips, farting and sending incoherent texts (generally to the correct person) had me laughing pretty hard.

Great work fellas, that's what you hang onto.

Myself and all my lifelong mates are the same age bracket as these blokes and we have the same infantile sense of humour that made it so easy to relate to.

Christ. Imagine a family member receiving that notification.

Has anyone heard any details about the funeral? Might go pay my respects if it's in Melbourne.

 

[Topkent]

For guys who didn't listen to the rub in the day get around these clubs. Spud was a comic genius, honestly stand up comedians couldn't get you laughing as hard as this bloke

 

[Heisenberg_]

For those who missed Gary this morning on SEN

I think it is family and close friends only.

I think I heard someone on the radio say that the funeral is on Wednesday.
I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a public part of it, even if it's on another day

I wouldn't expect to go inside the church but it would be nice to be over the road or something to help send him off. Hopefully there's something.

I don't really know about this sort of thing, but I'd expect some sort public memorial for someone who was loved by so many

As a youngster listening to triple m I idolised Spud, JB, Garry etc. It's the only celeb death besides Phil Hughes thats hits me hard. Spud was a legend, the afl media landscape won't be the same for a while

 

[deanc]

No.

It’s categorically suicide.

I’ve seen the tyre tracks from the scene.

Sadly true. A close friend (well known Melbourne lawyer) has seen the forensic CIU report and the preliminary conclusion was; 'there is no evidence at the scene to suggest the driver was not at any stage in full control of the vehicle.'

Just listening to the way people are talking about him it's clearly a man who's taken his own life.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

That's what I had heard myself on Tuesday from an ex Saints player. He said Danny's mate had not so ironically had committed suicide himself.

Wow this has freaked me out.
12 years ago my cousin was in a real bad place and he was very much spud like he was funny, immensely popular, great sportsman etc and just the knowledge that he was in such a bad place seemed impossible.
One of his mates got caught in a situation quite suddenly and it was going to have life changing implications. He was calmed down (been drinking also) but once everyone went to bed drove to the Westgate and jumped off. A very sudden and unexpected suicide.
My cousin in particular not only took it hard but he was livid with him,. “How could he the weak so and so” and many other things were uttered.
Two weeks later he drove his car to the exact same spot, left some of the very same stuff in the very same spot and manner in the car, same time of day and ..yep.

Chief still speaking about him in the present tense

My mum passed away on 3 months ago and I am still mostly talk about her in the present tense

 

[nylexbandit]

Anyone know if today’s show will be available on podcast or something afterwards?

 

[Topkent]

Assuming it will be available on all podcasts platforms yeah

 

[Witch1]

Anyone else hear BT's story last night about playing against Danny while trying to get one more goal for his 100 in a season?

The joke was that Danny had NFI why BT got 2 soft frees to finally get the goal he needed, and being so competitive was frothing at the mouth furious. BT didn't either, and it turned out that umpire had a bet on it.

I was half asleep at the time so details a bit vague, but it struck me that it wasn't the best story to share. Anyone else hear it?

Sorry for your loss

Wonder if we have the same friend. He was the one who showed me the tyre tracks.
