I will miss you Spud. A giant of our club. A loyal legend through some of the Saints toughest days. A mate to so many. Thanks for all the amazing stories. My heart goes out to the Frawley family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/KL22UxMGZG

At an event we hosted together earlier this year, Spud looked up at a photo of his daughters celebrating an Old Haileybury’s win.

He spoke emotionally & so sweetly about coaching his girls - he said they were his happiest moments as a footy coach.
Gorgeous man. Sad day.
Danny Frawley described himself as a simple spud farmer who'd made his way in the big smoke.

Of course, he was so much more than that.
Captain. Coach. Best and fairest. All-Australian. Legend of the game.
Tonight, we're thinking of Danny’s family, friends and fans. pic.twitter.com/tGVhatNPK5
"He was as relevant to my kids through The Bounce this year, as he was as a footballer more than 20 years ago.

R.I.P mate. You gave me my first opportunity to play AFL. You took a punt on me, when no one else did. You were so supportive and always there for me and my family. I’m forever grateful. Condolences to Anita, Chelsea, Keeley and Danielle. Gone way to soon. R.I.P Spud pic.twitter.com/wHPMjfYqvl

Absolutely devastated about the tragic passing of Danny “Spud” Frawley. Growing up watching his tenacity & never give up attitude on the wet grounds at Ballarat was something I’ll never forget. Always a competitor but winning and losing didn’t change him. It defined him. RIP mate

How do we make sense of the shock passing of Danny Frawley. A respected competitor, a loyal and ever supportive assistant but more importantly a bloody good bloke and friend. Thoughts are with Anita and the girls.
