Re: Danny Frawley
Pretty well going to be working full time during the pre season, then a couple of sessions a week during the season. Working mainly with the defence. Very well received by the playing group.

As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Danny Frawley
Danny Frawley was an excellent Captain for St.Kilda always bringing plenty to his role of guiding his team-mates on the field. I remember Danny as a big and positive energy for St.Kilda back in the early and mid 90s.
I'm happy to see Spud get the oppportunity to help the club out once more.
All the best Danny - glad to have you back on board.
G O S A I N T S !

The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

I remember Frawley at Pleasant Sunday Mornings in the Club rooms, long before cappuccinos, with a good old VB.

Re: Danny Frawley
With LB being poached getting Spud on board now will help to address that shortfall.

Re: Danny Frawley
Offered enough to be wanted by the Hawks for the same defensive role, Hawks are the benchmark side, so if they think he's good enough and the Saints think he is, then I'm happy to go along with it.Jacks Back wrote:In all seriousness, has Spud been out of the game too long? What does he offer (besides his love of the red white and black)?
He has one thing in sspdes and that is character

And you're basing this on what, that a bottom side Richmond didn't win a flag under Frawley? How well did they go with a change of coach? coaches?Bunk_Moreland wrote:saintspremiers wrote:Thank god for big miracles!
And I believe Frawley will NEVER be a senior coach again. For a start he has health issues, secondly he has media commitments, thirdly he was an ordinary senior coach.
Happy to have a past player back, but some realism please
First thing is that you need the players, the coach can't kick it for them, When a coach takes on a job at a bottom side, how long can you expect them to have a career? and apart from a miracle and a lot of luck and a very good recruiting team behind you, you're destined never to coach again. Thinking about it, is this this the best career move for spud? As opposed to coaching at Hawthorn
To say he can't coach based on his Richmond days is basically, well a load of crap.
Is Richo doomed?

Re: Danny Frawley
Great to see Spud back in this part-time role. A saints man with a lot of enthusiasm and teaching ability.
A lot of young saints players will look up to him. His personality and experience will be a good fit with Richo.
Good for the players. Good for the club.

Nice revision. Top four in 2001 and then he tried to top up and stuffed the list.

So how many more senior coaching positions has he had?
Seems like I am not the only one who thinks he wont ever be a senior coach again.
he was pretty poor from what i saw and wont ever coach seniors again.

Re: Danny Frawley
MEH......Spud...massive news...lol Where has he been all these years ? Welcome back Spud ? Ok...nice to see him back but I guess he has never really left...would be at most of the major functions and I'd rather not see him in any sort of coaching role...the game has moved on....now on the other hand, the news would so much more welcoming if it was Banger coming back to the fold.

Failed as a senior coach, not even an assistant coach anywhere, and only offered part time coaching.
He may not have led Richmond to a flag but I think he's the only coach that has gotten them into the top 4 since I've been alive... Ultimately his top up strategy was not executed well and cost him his job... but that's certainly not a unique mistake

Re: Danny Frawley
Hear Hear. This sort of rush to judgement, especially negative judgement, drives me nuts. Especially when it's about a guy that just turned down an as-good-as-sealed job with the Premiers to come back to where his heart lies.skeptic wrote:I'm not really wanting to weigh in, but I think it's harsh to call him a failure as a coachBunk_Moreland wrote:

Anybody who has coached an AFL side is a talented and inspiring person. No way could they get the job if they weren't. Some turn out to be better than others. Some have luck turn against them. All have at least something special to offer.
For Christ's sake let's celebrate the Spud's return.
One thing he does have that most others don't is a passionate commitment to the Saints.

Re: Danny Frawley
Has the game really changed from teaching a defender how to punch the ball, how to check their opponent, how to win a one-on-one contest, how to get across and cover someone else's man and how to drop back and fill the hole in the backline?The Fireman wrote:MEH......Spud...massive news...lol Where has he been all these years ?

If you think these basic skills of footy have changed (apart from rules limiting physical contact), could you please explain how?
Because this is what Frawley will be doing....
Funny that the reigning premiers wanted him in exactly the same role.

Many many coaches are terrific assistant coaches but cant cope with being a senior coach.
I don't think he has the nous as a senior coach, but as a defensive coach he will be in his element.\
If you look back you will see where I said he is obviously good enough and held in high enough regard as an assistant coach for the premiers to want hiom and offer him a job.
That means two clubs covering positions No1 to No.18 thought he was good enough.
Someone however surmised about him taking over from Richo as senior coach, which I disputed.
And it is not a rush to judgement on Frawley. The football industry has judged him not good enough for a senior role after his Richmond stint. Eade has made one GF almost twenty years ago and is at his third club, so the football industry judges a coaches ability to be a senior coach.
Why is it so offensive for it to be stated that Frawley is not up to the task?
BTW I think it is great to have Frawley back as an assistant. Great club man and great captain for the Saints.

Re: Danny Frawley
I can see the headlines now, "Spud's duds" etc. But seriously, good to have him back at the club. A good solid bloke who hopefully will stop our backline leaking like a sieve

Welcome home, Spud.
