Melbourne Demons midfielder Angus Brayshaw Danielle Frawley, daughter to St Kilda legend Danny Frawley, have announced their plans to tie the knot.
Brayshaw and Frawley both took to Instagram to announce their happy engagement yesterday night, with both captions stating, "She said yes".
The pair have known each other since they were children and went to school together before reconnecting as teenagers. Anita, Frawley's mother stated that she knew something was there from the beginning.
"We have a photo of them back in the day when they were seven, and we joke about it now that it was right back in those early days that we thought something would happen," she told ABC Radio earlier this week.
“They both had different lives and all of a sudden reconnected.
“He is a beautiful man."
During the 2021 Premiership season, Brayshaw supported Frawley and helped her to find her passion and interest in the game once again after her father's passing in 2019.
Anita Frawley commended Brayshaw and the football community and noted that Melbourne's inclusion in the grand final helped to keep Danielle interested.
“After the trauma that we went through, the football world really put their arms around the girls and I and I think when you go through the trauma and the five years leading into it, I just did not have time for football, I did not think about it too much,” she said.
“But now, especially during lockdown, how wonderful it is that we have had the season to look back on and now of course with Danielle's boyfriend Gus in the grand final," she said back in 2021.
Danny Frawley played 240 games for the St Kilda Football Club and coached Richmond for four years between 2000 - 2004 and suffered from low-stage chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a form of brain disease linked to repeated blows to the head and died in a car accident in Ballarat in 2019.
