Coaching Career
Frawley took up the coaching reins at the Richmond Football Club in 2000. In his first year they just missed out of the finals finishing 9th. In 2001 he took the Tigers into the finals where in the preliminary finals they were eliminated by the Brisbane Lions who were the eventual premiers. In 2002, however, Richmond struggled and finished 14th. This continued in 2003, when, after a six wins and two losses start to the season, they lost 13 of their next 14 matches and finished 13th.
Frawley and Richmond kept struggling and finished 16th (the "wooden spoon" position) in 2004. Midway through the season, Frawley announced he would resign at the end of the season. Richmond lost their last fourteen matches of the season.
Since leaving coaching, Frawley has been a special comments man for Triple M. In June 2006, he coached a winning Victorian State of Origin side in the E. J. Whitten Legends Match and became the chief executive of the AFL coaches association.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
