Danny Frawley (born September 8, 1963) is a former Australian rules footballer and coach.
Height: 191 cm, playing weight: 95 kg. He has a wife, Anita Frawley, and 3 daughters, Chelsea, Danielle and Keeley.
Recruited from Ballarat, where he was a potato farmer, Frawley initially played as a forward but soon became a renowned full-back. He was a long-serving captain of the St Kilda Football Club and enjoyed a career from 1984-1995.
Frawley took up the coaching reigns at the Richmond Football Club in 2000, and had some early success, taking the Tigers to the finals in 2001. Unfortunately he couldn't replicate the club's first finals appearance since 1995 again during his tenure, with his team always getting off to solid starts (in 2002 making the Wizard Cup final), but then fading out towards the end of the season. This continued in 2003, where, after a 6-2 start to the season, they lost 13 of their next 14 matches.
Frawley took his team to the wooden spoon in 2004, and midway through the season announced he would be stepping down at season's end.
Since he left coaching he has been a special comments man for Triple M. His co-hosts will often refer to him as "Spud Regal". He is married to Anita.
In June 2006, he coached a victorious Victorian State of Origin side in the AFL Legends Match.
