there was discussion on wisby here last week. Here is his review on Mundy pre draft that i just found if of interest:
"David Mundy (Murray Bushrangers) 189/82 mid-age stylish right foot (dual-sided) unflappable defender. Slim, almost KPP-tall, U18 outside defender who plays FB at U18 level. More an opportunist, a mopper-up and play-creator than a close-checking, marking key defender. Backs his own judgement every time and is happy to routinely play off his opponent. Biggest assets are ability to read the ball, poise and, above all, disposal. Will get drafted and has definite AFL-quality attributes but his current lack of accountability and intensity would see some opponents kick bags against him. Is not known for his overhead marking either. Initially not a favourite of mine because of his lack of accountability but he has won me over because of disposal, poise, reading, particularly disposal. I rank him at 27 on my list, worth a mid-latish 2nd round pick, but he is likely to go earlier. Ready year 2. *STYLE LIKE: Clement *TRADEMARK: - Mopping up in space behind play deep in defence, or gliding to space to present an option, gathering or receiving then coolly delivering a 45m pin-point pass, perhaps after a 20m run. *SUMMARY ASSESSMENT, RECOMMENDATION: Plays a Paul Roos style (without the marking) - doesn't usually show opponent much respect and backs his ability to read the game and the ball as a higher priority than manning up. Is often good at this but when he is wrong his opponent is often free in space or Mundy has had to rely on a team mate going to his opponent. Has a lot of confidence in his ability to play off his man, attack the ball and outrun opponents. Sometimes misplaced confidence. Plays close in patches but too often gives opponents too little respect and too much latitude... "
