[freo_leo29]

A legend of the club, has given his all for this jumper

Post your favourite Mundy moments to celebrate the man

 

[Belnakor]

completed the set of jumpers - platinum trophy - no reason to continue

Sorry to intrude, but gotta say this is a real bummer because I really thought he’d play on. Always had respect for how he kept such a high standard at his age and still played so well.

If the Pies drop out of the finals, I’ll be hoping you guys go all the way and win it all and send him out Shane Crawford style

I'm not ok

 

[mayne iac]

Legend

 

[Ge3ks]

I'm not ok

Me neither

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Omg I just shed tears

 

[Van_Dyke]

I'm not ok

i needed this to be soft launched instead of coming from nowhere

 

[wild side]

Sad, nothing lasts forever

 

[muckypup]

I had hoped for just "One More Year"

 

[Van_Dyke]

what a game he put together for his 300th, stepped up a gear when we needed him with 2 massive goals in the 3rd term, and the crowd going nuts for both of them

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Damn. It feels like the right time though. Amazing career and impact on this club. You can’t underestimate the influence he’s had on our young mids.

The way he could keep driving himself and produce a career best year in 2021 at 36 is an inspiration, he’d know better than anyone that he’s just dropped back a little and doesn’t want to hold the club back in 2023. Hopefully this spurs the club on to attack the rest of the year at full tilt and send him out on a high.

Me too! I mean with Pav we knew it was his last year but for Mundy to retire in his rising star year is just a body blow!

 

[stormee]

Sad news but it couldn’t go on forever. Hope this news is the jolt the team needs to finish strong and give Mundy the send off he deserves.

 

[Van_Dyke]

and of course with highlights it's pretty hard to go past this pair

 

[freo_leo29]

Can't find any video of it but Mundy's game lifiting performance in the third quarter of the grand final always sticks out for me

He put the team on his back and put us right in it, would have won the norm if we had pulled it off.

 

[Grape Bear]

Where was the warning shot?!

I hope we finish the year strong and send him off on a high, he deserves it for his loyalty and service. Even if we don’t win it this year, Dave can hold his head high knowing he helped take the younger boys to where they are now.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Will probably see it out and play in Walters' 200th to complete the set

No way is he sticking around for Tabeners 200th (currently on 115)

In all seriousness, on the same echelon as Pav, McPharlin, Sandi etc. An absolute servant to the club, all-round nice guy and honestly deserves much more recognition and praise than he gets - oftentimes from our own supporters

 

[freo_leo29]

and of course with highlights it's pretty hard to go past this pair

Richmond supporters all have let out a collective sigh of relief

 

[Ge3ks]

Looks like Dave will complete his epic career without ever being dropped. Ever. Amazing.

 

[Cesoir]

They could have said he was up on the roof or something

 

[Dockernut]

Devastated. One of our all time best players. Always played to an exceptionally high standard.

Thanks for making us a better team for so long Munds.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

So what has happened between late June where he was keen to play on next year to now?

 

[dockertor]

Noooo, We all knew it would come but this is a sad day, Dave Mundy has been such a great for this club. Can this be inspiration for a fairy tale ending?
