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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
