Spud Frawley

[SENsei]

Apologies if this has been asked before. I searched the forum but came up blank. I heard word tonight at the football that all is not well with Spud's health? I haven't heard anything but had noticed he had not been on Fox Footy for a couple of weeks. If true, I hope all is well with the Spud. Great bloke.

[Sainternist]

I also wish Danny well and hope he recovers to full health.

He was a great captain, played 200+ games and was a dour full back. Will always have a soft spot for ol' Spud.

Looking at BF and joining the dots it could be depression of some degree. I know someone who worked very closely with Spud and said he is a top bloke. Top Captain of the Saints - right up there with Rooey, same love and passion for our team. We all should wish him a quick recovery.

and when asked Andrew gaze said he was quite ill

someone else suggested a holiday- but referances are dminishing.
All the Best Danny

Yes, this is what I heard also. A common illness that is eminently treatable. Hope he's back on his feet soon

I hope it didn't have anything to do with that turkey of a bloke Patrick Smith having a go at him for joking around on Fox Footy when he was the prez of the coaches association.

Treatable yes but for some a condition that keeps popping up throughout life. Poor bugger.

Thanks so much for posting this. Our family feels Spud is a friend because of his easy going on screen persona. I have heard that this is the real Danny Frawley.

Get well soon Spud people like you make the world a better place.

couple of references in inside football in recent weeks to trouble at fox footy, bullying and some people taking on more than they can handle...intimated that a bullying lawsuit was on the cards......not sure any of this relates to spud but it may well do.......

Dont get the Plugger reference. Isnt this about Danny Frawley. Also i would be pretty sure many journos know about about the issues, if they are some, with Danny but are choosing not to report it so I dont that last line either.

[White Winmar]

I just hope it isn't depression. Probably the worst of all afflictions. If it is, I hope the spud gets all the support he needs.

[AdelaideSainter]

All the best to Spud. If it is indeed depression it's not to be taken likely. Recently lost a mate to the affliction..

[saintspremiers]

Maybe our banner this week should read: "All the best Spud"

Simple and effective.

Thoughts?

Never unless he wants it public.

With this level of public comment growing, it would seem appropriate that a formal comment/quote be made from Spud's side. It will put any innuendo's to rest.

Danny will explain on his return to work Wed on "The Bounce"etc

I love the guy! Even when he was coaching the Tiggers and had that run-in with GT regarding Bakes and Kane Johnson, I still loved the guy. danny I wish you nothing, mate but the very best of EVERYTHING! Health, love and happiness. BIG RESPECT Spud! Jiggster xx

Out of all the Richmond coaches during their still current dismal era which has lasted since '82, Spud was one of two (the other Northy) who got the best out of them.

Why?
To satisfy the gossipmongerers?
His "ill-health" is family business, and private.

[andrewg]

He should be an employee at the saints

Yep, as many others of our past heroes should be, but we cannot afford to employ them all.
