Just keep swimming... Barra Mundy signs for 2019

[Okinakashi]

Dave is going around again.

http://m.fremantlefc.com.au/news/2018-08-16/mundy-plays-on

Can't wait for his 300th.

What a FFC legend.

 

[MadDocker]

He's having a ripper year. Glad to have him on for 2019. With Fyfe, Brayshaw etc back next year he can also spend more time up forward and he's a proven goal kicker and good user of the ball up there.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Great news! Such a stalwart and still playing awesome footy. Love that he's going to hit the 300 games mark, both for him personally and for us as a footy club (touch wood of course!). I reckon I'm going to be just as devoed when he retires as I was when McPharlin, and even Pav, did. Love ya work Dave!

 

[Walshy1]

Love the title, had a bit of a giggle.

He's a absolute legend and thrilled about him going around again!

 

[Rob]

Great news, he remains one of our most reliable.

 

[masai]

Classy player, who for a long time has been undervalued by a lot of Freo supporters, and ran under the radar of the general AFL community.

When I see Dave approach the ball, I know my heart rate can drop, as Mr Dependable is on duty.

Well loved player, never doubted his endeavour.

300 here we come.

 

[Nolo180]

Hes got a couple left in him the way hes going. Cant remember the last time he missed a game. Wasnt this season anyway.
Straight into a coaching role after that.

His leadership seems amazing these days, and his form is excellent.

 

[BStaff17]

Ever realiable & consistent. Doesn't get the credit he deserves really i feel.

Was worried after 2016 the year he was captain as he form really dropped off. Even his kicking went a bit haywire i remember Pav's last game he couldn't hit a target in that game.

But has returned to solid form. Must admit though it is a bit indictment that at his age he still is carrying a fair load in the midfield. Injuries havent helped i suppose as in a perfect world would have him in the forward line as we did at the start of the year. With bursts in the middle.

But he has managed to outlast everyone. He lachie neale & luke ryan the only ones to play every game so far.

Will probably be in top 3 for the doig as well. Amazing he has only won 1 Doig medal in his career. Deserves a 2nd but i think lachie will pip him

Just based on a general feel, rather than thinking about things game by game, I would go with Barra for the Doig. He has been consistent, and often very influential.

Very happy with this news
I am kinda hoping he does a Boomer Harvey and plays on until he is in his late 30's

 

[Scatter]

If we could kick straight in 2013 he would be a Norm Smith medal winner.
Love his shimmy, rarely (if ever) gets caught with the ball.
Champ.

And does this while appearing to be only constantly jogging

He seems to really be enjoying his footy as well. Making Ed Curnow flinch last weekend was one of the highlights of the year.

 

[its free real estate]

Having a cracker year, more than earned an extension. Would be favourite for the Doig I think. Neale and Langdon the only conceivable challengers.

 

[Okinakashi]

He's already coaching the AFLW team. Along with Mora, Johno, Brady Gray and a couple more.

Luke Ryan is the other possible challenger. Unlikely but will be top 5 I think.

Has Barra ever been suspended. He must be one of the most respected going around. Top class citizen,never been a whiff of scandal and loyal to the core.

Under the radar legend. He'd need to a hit a kid or something similar for the media to solidify his good bloke status in this day and age.

 

[Sweetback]

He’s been pretty durable in his old age (touch wood). Bit of a Benjamin Button.

Hit the nail on the head there, seems to be really enjoying his footy. From enjoyment comes success.

 

[Okinakashi]

2 potential Father/Son selections as well...

Sure.
He usually only looks that clean shaven at the start of the season.

i don't think being captain worked for him. He seems to be better when he can focus on his own game.
