What a great moment for the Old Bull Young Buck pod'. Love it.
Have just gone and downloaded the whole episode via spotify. Will listen while I work.

Great podcast. Dave Mundy is the star this week, and Logue did the deep dive on his career highs and lows. Interesting to learn that Mundy has never been dropped. Logue's response 'You haven't lived!' ROFL.

What a great player he has been for the FFC.
I think back to the very early days of his career and how frustrated I used to be watching him.
So lazy looking, wouldn't run, wouldn't tackle.At times looked lost.GRRRRRR
But how my opinion has changed over the years.
He spoke the other day of maybe playing 400 games.What a feather inthe cap that would be.Maybe an Eagle feather

But we all know that Father time can catch up to players very quickly.One more full season, playing as he is now, may just be the thing to get him to that milestone.
Well played David Mundy.You legend.

If someone told the folk at Seymour that their little town would produce a 350 gamer in the VFL/AFL, they'd lap it up.
The eastern media, FWIW, are 12 years behind me in acknowledging Mundy's goodness.
Come across this today.
Former Fremantle & Daves 1st Afl coach Chris Connelly talking about Dave.
He certainly still has a love and soft spot for Freo and Dave

Mundy is far better then Pendlebury, the last few years just shows that. But hey, games record holder for Collingwood… he’s GOAT apparently.
Always felt Mundy has been consistent throughout his career

For the oldies here who are '70's kids at heart, Mundy reminds me of Bruce Doull and Stuart Trott.

In the highlights package - the 2006 final v Melbourne. The little blonde kid with PAV written on his forehead... my son
For my money he’s the clear number 2 all time great Freo player. Fyfe won’t get anywhere near his number of games & would have to captain us at least to another GF to reach the top with Pav (just my opinion).
I sweated on his new contracts only slightly less than Pav’s.

FWIW, I have these names as my top 10.
Pav.
Mundy.
Fyfe.
Sandi.
Johnson.
McPharlin.
Ballantyne.
Crowley.
Hasleby.
Walters.
This is not in order BTW.
Duffield and Barlow most stiff with S. Parker and a fit S. Hill not far behind.

S. Hill would’ve easily made the top 5 had he didn’t get injured in 2017- his prime years.
Just shows the incredible durability of Mundy. Kept his body in great shape.

Cookie and Belly were big oversights on my behalf.
The Wiz felt the same to me at Freo as at Melbourne if not a peg or 2 lower.
Roger Hayden is another oversight.
If MJ is Michael Johnson then I've already mentioned him.
I didn't see enough of Clive to warrant his inclusion.

It'll be hard but I reckon I could do a best 22 for Freo plus 4 emergencies.
And, though he netted Freo their best patch of success, I can't pick Ross Lyon as my preferred men's coach.
I'll give you guys a taste of my best 22 + 4 em.
Duffield at fullback and Barlow on the bench.

You have purple tinted glasses on. Pendlebury's best is (was?) better than Mundy. Mundy is currently playing better footy but you are doing a massive disservice to Pendlebury to say Mundy was far better.

How is this guy. As a captain he was too scared to talk to a camera.
Now he has his own podcast & speaks so well.
Loved to know what he did to get over his anxiety..
I think he plays great footy too..

When David Mundy made his league debut, the bulk of this year's draftees were turning 2 years old.

Personally I'm disappointed l can only acknowledge him on BF when he's brought me so much joy for so many years. Absolute champion of our club and the game.
