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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
