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:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
