UNABLE to land Bret Thornton during the trade period, Hawthorn has turned to a famed full-back to improve its defence — Danny Frawley.
Frawley, who has been weighing up whether to return to football full-time, will take up a part-time position to coach Hawthorn's tall defenders, including Zac Dawson, Danny Jacobs and Trent Croad, as well as young forwards Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead.
Hawthorn had offered Frawley a full-time position as a mentor/senior assistant while Geelong, too, had sounded him out about a possible role, but the former Richmond coach and St Kilda captain has decided to stick with his commentary and business interests while maintaining part-time involvement.
