Toast Congratulations Barra

[Wee Jessies]

Assuming he gets through training unscathed David Mundy will play his 200th game this weekend in the derby.

A lot gets talked about Pavs loyalty but this bloke has been a star. He copped a lot of flack early in his career but reality was he had to play at a very early age and learn on the run.

Thanks for sticking by us David hope you sign on for another 100 Freo games and that the boys get up for you.

Just hope I haven't gone too early with the thread.

Fantastic effort from Barra. Let's hope the boys get up for him on Saturday.

 

[Freo Dr]

I never once had any problems with Mundy, you could always see his quality and ability to use space and time available from his first games which is why he finished third in the rising star that year (2005). Deserved Doig medallist in 2010 he is a crucial part of our midfield now and in pressure games like finals is rolled gold for his ability to keep calm and slot the pass into the forward line.

Congrats Manic!

Must be a happy week for Mems.

Where is Mems? I'd like his thoughts on Barra's 200 games. I'm sure he will be glowing in his appraisal.

On a Mundy I'd just like to congratulate you David. Absolutely fantastic footballer who is very durable and could easily play another 100 games. Would be pretty hard to take seeing him running around in anything else but the purple. Seems like a really nice guy too. The purple haze will all get around you on Satdy. All class

 

[RickSanchez]

Gun.

 

[Spirit Level]

He's better than Deledio, that's for sure

Yeap, I'll go with that. That's almost verbatim what I was about to write. I'd add that he would have been on track for 2011 Doig too before his injury hit, add runner up last year ... the club certainly know where he's rated.

Love him, always been one of my favourites.

 

[estibador]

I hate that nickname.

 

[gaskin]

I always have and always will call him Barra. Just like I call Clancee Clanger just like the players where as others call him other nicknames.

 

[estibador]

And they call McPharlin Woosh.

There should seriously be a rule about our players having eagle-esque nicknames.

 

[gaskin]

I don't think the players give 2 shits about the rivalry unless they grew up Dockers supporters like Gumby or are from SA and know what the rivalry is like in a 2 team town like Pav and Lachie.

 

[free at last]

And they call McPharlin Woosh.

Just add saltwater

Great career so far. Can easily see him slotting into a pocket, forward or back, in the twilight of his next contract with us.

 

[Seppo]

Well done Barramundy on the 200 games.

Lee Spurr also racks up his 50 game milestone this week.

 

[jusjoshin]

Congratulations Manic. A phenomenal player.

 

[freodog]

Mundy's alright but should have kept Steven Koops

 

[sansian]

And they call McPharlin Woosh.

Woosh? where does that come from?

he sound he makes when he comes streaming past out of the backline?

 

[estibador]

Something like that. He said Croad gave it to him because he was fast when he was younger.

 

[Kram]

Though this was about that fat douche Barich for half a moment.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Well done Barramundy on the 200 games.

Lee Spurr also racks up his 50 game milestone this week.

Well done both Dave & Lee for your combined 250th!

 

[Silent Alarm]

Fremantle's players are underrated everywhere outside of WA, but Mundy's underrated even in it. He takes those right steps sideways and backwards and makes time when there isn't any. I used to get him confused with Ryan Murphy as a kid and now my only confusion around him is "where's all the fawning and plaudits?"

Classy, great skills, a natural footballer who just excels at the simple stuff. He's a serious asset and people don't realise how integral he is to the midfield and the rest of the side. There's a very serious and fair case that he's our most important player.

It's taken a while, a few positions, but he's there now and deserves all the plaudits and a hundred more. Onya Dave.

 

[willoblue]

absolute champ, & also great to watch
congrats David

 

[freo_baby]

Love watching Mundy glide across the field every game. Hope he re-signs.

 

[imperial_oz]

I'll throw in my 2c. Mundy is clearly one of the best mids in the game.

Congrats on 200 and I really want be sitting with another smile on my face when you suit up for 300. Heck I'll even volunteer to chair you off, rain, hail or shine! In any event, give 'em heck on Saturday!
