Title: Spud
Post by: big tone on August 18, 2013, 07:14:57 PM
I know it doesnt matter now but anybody else ever wonder how Danny Frawley ever got a coaching gig? Let alone with our great club. What the stuff must have we been thinking? He is just a massive bogan with limited footy nous. Listening to him commentate is like listening to an amature. He just agrees with anybody else he is commenting with. And doesn't mind sticking the boots into the Tigers when he gets a chance.
His nickname Spud is spot on!!

IIRC no one wanted to coach Richmond given the basket case we were along with our poor reputation for sacking coaches.
So we got someone desperate to coach an AFL team and he was "cherry ripe" to take the gig

He is not a genius is he?  Nice enough guy but you really do wonder how he got the job.

True sadly

We offered the job to Bomber Thompson but he knocked us back to take the Geelong gig because of our reputation for sacking coaches

This is correct. The only blokes we had to choose from were Spud and Brian Royal. We took the better dud out of the two duds.
