Toast David Mundy will retire at the end of 2022

[se17enteen]

Mark Duffield on his pod today and Caro last night on Footy Classified hinted the Lyon/Mundy/Captaincy gate. (Lyon weeks ago when talking about regrets in footy talked about this as his biggest regret at Freo)

We never got the full story and I don’t think many people know this. This is what I know, feel free to add to it if you know more.

So leading up to the captaincy vote when Pav gave it up, Lyon spent a lot of time trying to convince the playing group to vote for Fyfe instead of Mundy. It didn’t work, Mundy was voted captain and Lyon wanted to do the vote again but the players refused. The following year Mundy was told not to put his hand up for the captaincy and the players “voted” for Fyfe instead.

Sad week for WA footy. I will always have the upmost respect for this guy, wears his heart on his sleeves and bleeds for the Fremantle football club. I hope he gets a good run into September for a fitting send off

Let’s all Mundy up with our avatars for the rest of the year as a mark of respect

Done!

Edit, Wilksyy beat me to my Avi! Oh well, we can share our love!

Thought this was a good read:

It’s match day, it must be Mundy: Ageless Docker leaves us wanting more

David Mundy does not have a bulging trophy cabinet, but he leaves a distinctive mark in that after 19 AFL seasons, his retirement has come as a surprise.

He wouldn't, would he?

If Clarkson coaches there I wouldn’t have thought it would happen. Clarkson got rid of Hodge, Lewis, Mitchell & Birchall so he could free up list spots to rebuild, he’s not going to bring in a 38 year old.

Hodge was still 33 when he played his first game for Brisbane. It's a stupid suggestion.

 

[Square Peg]

It wouldn't happen but I would have nothing but positive thoughts if he went down that route. He owes us nothing. It would be bloody weird though seeing him play against Freo.

Anyone see this on their socials today?

A lovely tribute to the great man.

Inside the Game: Freo's David Mundy and the fountain of youth

Even after 17 seasons and 371 games, David Mundy took people by surprise with his retirement announcement. Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson take a closer look at the evergreen Docker.

A good read, but was twitching from him being described as ageing like the portrait of Dorian gray.

To be honest both Fyfe and Mundy aren’t captaincy material. Great players but hardly natural leaders. Feel like Fyfe was just voted die to being the best player.
See Brayshaw and Serong. Definite captains.

Talking of the lure of going home toVictoria.
He has stated he’s a WA guy and his family all from WA. He’s country Victoria anyway. Most likely play for the country amateur competition then North.

I do think there are different kinds of leaders - Dave is a quiet one who sets standards by behaviour, is collaborative, a good communicator, selfless, and also capable of doing inspirational things on field. I think he’s perceived externally as not being captain material because he’s an introvert, but internally his leadership is clearly valued, having been in the group consistently for a very long time.

Absolute stud of a bloke and a class act. If it weren’t for one M Pavlich he’d be my favourite ever Docker. Good luck this weekend guys (but not too much).
