, amd lobbed him in our laps...good to get a trade win for a change.

Often unheralded and shaded by Fyfe, Pav and Sandilands this fella is an absolute Rolls Royce of a footballer. Never made all Australian but has been a bloody marvellous footballer anyway.

In the granny we lost he almost turned the game our way by himself. And who could forget the two Mundy v Richmond games.




Congrats on a great career that is still being played at an elite level, being fantastic again today against GWS.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Didn't he get traded to Collingwood a couple of years back?

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Reaching 300 means you've generally outlasted your enemies. Still playing great footy. Was excellent today and a major contributor to a dominant midfield.

 

[fnerd]

Never made all Australian

Might want to re check that lach

 

[Lach72]

Might want to re check that lach

Woops. I did check but he’s so unassuming I missed it.

Made it in 2015

 

[Handsome_Jack]

Great player and undeservedly unheralded. Always seems to just go about his business and very rarely has a bad game. Well done Mundy on a cracking career

 

[SS_Fury]

big fan of mundy....could have gone back home but stuck it out and is ice cool with the ball in hand. Richmond must hate him.

If this thread goes to multiple pages in going to quote the OP just for the Richmond videos again.

Big fan of Mundy even though he's cut us up many times. I am expecting to see him at a Freo game soon in his civvies and be like 'oh that's right, he retired'. Mr low key. Second player out of WA to play 300, huge effort. Apparently missed half of 2011, I barely remember seeing him on the sidelines for 15 years.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

You’d struggle to hate the guy

He pops up for some amazing purple patches in games. He was never a four quarter star - he would just chug along doing his thing the ignite and explode when needed

Ultra professional and admire his loyalty Here’s hoping we get 4 points for him on Saturday night <3

 

[Scotland]

I like how he's an AA calibre mid and also looks like he's playing with the intensity of Jack Watts. Trickster.

 

[Bulldog1954]

Absolute gun, has been underrated for years. Smooth mover, uses the ball well, tough and can play forward as well as mid. Still, I think Koops was better

 

[Retzlaff]

He’s our Burgoyne

 

[FreoGirl]

Have great respect for his loyalty. A gentleman of the game.

[Darcy 2 Fyfe]

Massive effort to get to 300 playing out of Perth without so much of a parking fine for the vultures in WA to pick him apart on.

[Sully111]

Huge respect for Mundy. He's a star.

 

[chrstphrwnstn]

Champion.

 

[Roobs321]

Always loved Mundy. Still fondly remember his very first game, an instant classic high-scoring win over (a decent) Melbourne at the MCG.

Has been a champion for at least a decade now. As with comtemporaries like Sam Mitchell, Priddis and Matthew Boyd, was a little unheralded for long patches of his career.

 

[jezzajay]

Fantastic player that I enjoy watching. Sublime.
Congrats on the upcoming 300th.

 

[EasternTiger]

OP can get stuffed with those 2 videos. And on easter sunday, of all days!

Well done Mundy on the milestone. He can take pride in the fact, for a year or two in his prime, he was almost as good as Deledio.

 

[Rich01]

Been a good player for a long time.
300 games is some achievement.
Surprised he was never AA, but in his prime he would have had a couple of years that he would have gone close.

 

[elsleevador]

I have never heard a negative word spoken about this bloke.
Time stands still when he has the ball which is a gift from the football gods that not many possess.
He definitely goes under the radar but the thing that stands out most for me is his hardness at the ball amd amazing durability despite his courage.
I look forward to reading many more messages on this thread in the next week as we celebrate #mundy3hundy.

Half of Freo's list missed most of 2011. By the last H&A game they had to get special permission from the AFL to fly in a rookie to cover a late withdrawal as they had literally no one else iirc

Yep, had to get special permission to get two rookies elevated to have a squad of 25, and one of them (Casey Sibosado) ended up having to play due to McPharlin injuring himself in the warmup.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

I still wake up screaming.
