Preview 2025 Best 22 Discussion

[stax on the mull]

We were talking about how players contributed to our run in 2012-2015 and possibly talking about the top three players across the competition in KPFs (Pavlich), KPDs (McPharlin), rucks (Sandilands) and midfielders (Fyfe). I don’t think this underrating Mundy at all and I don’t this those capable of taking off those purple glasses would disagree with me.

Counterpoint to that is that Mundy is the only one out of that group that actually plays full seasons over that peak period of 2012-15.

Fyfe misses most of 2012, Sandilands most of 2012 and 2013. Pavlich misses most of 2013. McPharlin only plays in one year of finals (2013).

Mundy is the best player for Freo in the 2013 GF.

Sort of goes with my point though. Part of reason Mundy was so good was how consistently good he was.

But there’s a reason Pavlich and Sandilands have so many All Australians. They were so good compared to others that played their roles that Vic Bias couldn’t rob them. Fyfe won two Brownlows and probably wins a third if not for a BS suspension in 2014.

If you want to see a player underrated on the east coast look no further than McPharlin. I don’t think there was a better KPD in the 5-6 years he was at his best. Our record in finals with vs without him speaks for itself.

Controversial with the sub
.
Will be interesting to see if Aish can force his way into contention or not. Won't be easy. Very versatile player
