Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
A Saint by the jumper he wore.
A Saint by the man he was.
A Saint is how he'll always be remembered.
RIP great man.
I know the club and footy fraternity will be doing all in their power to help the Frawley family in this awful time.
My prayers with them.

Yep, I never saw the best of Ablett (snr) or Dunstall live, because we had Spud Frawley.
I reckon he would given Plugger a few headaches.

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
Such sad news and a tragedy of the worst kind
I fear there is a bit more to this which makes all that much harder for the people closest to him

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
Just messaged Richard Osborne who is a friend of mine who is overseas at the moment and he said he was one of the true gentlemen of the game.
Danny and his family also is treated by a family member of mine as their family doctor.
Rally sad and tragic news.
This hits really hard.
RIP Captain

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
Heartbreaking.
One of the nicest people you would ever meet.
I doubt if anyone is as passionate about StKilda as Danny was.

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
The Age reporting that he'd confided to close friends recently that his marriage was over and he was in financial strife due to a failed investment. Whether it was an accident or more than that doesn't change the fact that I'm heartbroken that Danny's gone; if it wasn't an accident, it hurts even more thinking what hell he was going through to resort to that seemingly having everything going for him and leaving a beautiful family behind. RIP skip, you're forever a Saint and will never be forgotten.Joffa Burns wrote: ↑Mon 09 Sep 2019 9:27pmSome contacts in the force seem to think the same.MC Gusto wrote: ↑Mon 09 Sep 2019 9:18pmAbc running the lifeline and beyond blue stuff now

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
Incredibly sadly this is the reason for too many people taking their lives. There was a report on The Age I think a few days ago. It’s an absolute crisis that needs addressing.silverhalo wrote: ↑Mon 09 Sep 2019 9:43pmThe Age reporting that he'd confided to close friends recently that his marriage was over and he was in financial strife due to a failed investment.

Our Spud is a very public face of a huge problem - if all this is what happened today.

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
Re Danny's last game.
It was a big win in a game dominated by Winmar.
Late in the last quarter Danny had a rush of blood and drifted down to the middle of the ground.
He received the ball from a teammate and went on an unashamedly selfish run into the unfamiliar territory of the forward line.
Urged on by the crowd he ignored options as he ran to the flank, looked at the scoreboard end goals ...
... and sprayed the shot out on the full!
(Pretty sure that was his last possession).

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
The league should launch a mental health initiative in Danny’s name ... in conjunction with Beyond Blue.
Danny was quite vocal on this issue. I think Gilligan admitted it was one of the major problems facing the game.
It’s a scourge on modern society and, unfortunately, very, very common. In football, for every guy sitting out games with mental health issues there’s probably five more who should be.

I believe he was referring to mental health issues, not being heartless.

RIP Danny 'Spud' Frawley
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!

Just woke up to this devastating news.
So sad. Such a loss. A true St Kilda legend and a great man.
