Loss to the game and the football community, a genuine nice guy, character of the game who gave back at grassroots and left a smile on the face of many who met him.

RIP Spud thoughts are with Anita and all the family

    I felt the same way. I rarely feel sorrow over the death of strangers but I felt a serious blow over this.  Grief is a strange beast.

    Most famous people suck, and deep down we know that. Deep down we know Danny Frawley was a good person, so it hurts.

    To anyone who suspects they have depression. Ask for help, but importantly get the right help. Not just the first person you see. Primarily it is a chemical imbalance, nothing to do with strength or weakness.

    This appears to be self inflicted which is horrible. Bloody depression!!    A man who had everything to live for.... great family.. worked in an industry he loved (apparently)  and it still happened. Like others I did not know him  but gut wretched

    A timely reminder that tomorrow ( Thursday 12th September) is RUOK day and for the blokes on here, its never been more important to speak up, ask for help or make sure you ask someone if they ROK? One pretty simple question it can make a difference.

    I've always known of Danny Frawley as a champion footballer and media personality, but it was only after reading the words and sentiments expressed in these pages, that it hit home that he was also a champion person.  Thanks for the insights Demonlanders.

    RIP Danny.  Sincere condolences to his family.

    It’s so sad. He didn’t show up for his birthday celebrations on sunday. 

    It had all got too much....

    Spud was so humble that when asked to carry the Commonwealth Games torch in his leg he sought out children with disabilities to carry it with him. Our daughter was one of the lucky kids chosen- this act proved to me what a lovely guy he was. Such a tragedy - my prayers go out to his family and loved ones at this time.

    This is an utterly bewildering and disrespectful blunder from the AFL social media team. What is wrong with people?

    An absolute disgrace. Saw that this morning and wondered who was going to fired from AFL HQ this morning. Then wondered if it was a clumsy attempt to get a WCE player peeing gatorade off the radar.

    Last nights AFL 360 was just about as raw as tele gets. It so great to have a laugh, good for the soul, but its also great for the soul to have a cry.

    Not my cup of tea for 'sliding doors', but think you've overreacted a tad:

    I often found it strange that people, vented and posted tributes to those they din’t know online.

    I still don’t completely understand it with Frawley. But it has affected me. I hope his family are able to get on with their lives as best as possible.

    Danny Frawley “spud” rip

    Never thought I’d say this, but Channel7 and their commentators did a wonderful send off to Spud tonight, celebrated with a beer, well done lads. RIP spud, larger than life mate!

    Nah man. It’s not about the underlying content’s virtue. Make sure notifications like that (Ding Dong??) don’t get broadcast on people’s screens.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
