Mundy Mania hits Seymour

Seymour is buzzing with the return of AFL legend David Mundy locked in for this Saturday’s match at Kings Park.


Mundy, originally recruited from the Seymour Lions in 2003, went on to have one of the most decorated careers in the history of AFL football, holding Fremantle’s all time games record, while only eight players have ever played more games at the highest level. This longevity sits alongside several personal honours, including an All-Australian selection, a Best & Fairest and 120 Brownlow Medal votes.


Mundy’s return to Goulburn Valley League (GVL) football against Kyabram this Saturday will mark a big moment for the league with Mundy the most experienced AFL player ever to put the boots on in the competition.


Seymour Lions President, Gerard O’Sullivan, said the club was looking forward to a bumper crowd to welcome Mundy home.


“This is about as big as it gets in country footy and the whole town is talking about Mundy’s return to The Den,” Mr O’Sullivan said.


“You very rarely see players of Dave’s calibre come back and play country footy and to have someone do it for their home club is even rarer.


“He’s only one full season out of the AFL so we have no doubt he’ll be in great condition and put on a show for the home crowd.”


The Seniors game against Kyabram will kick off at 2pm this Saturday, May 11.


“We’re encouraging everyone to get in the gates early and enjoy some of the other action on the day,” Mr O’Sullivan said.


“We’ve got netball on from 9 in the morning and footy on from 10 so it’s a great chance to enjoy a great day of action in a welcoming and family friendly environment.


“It will be a pretty jam-packed Kings Park over the day so don’t miss the chance to be involved in a great day for country footy.


“We look forward to hosting Dave, his family and a bumper crowd through the gates on Saturday.”

The Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) will celebrate a significant milestone this weekend, with Senior Co-Coach and Captain Jack Murphy set to play his 150th senior game for the Lions. Since making his senior debut in 2015, Murphy has established himself as one of the premier players in the Goulburn Valley League. Over the past decade, Murphy has built an outstanding football resume. A dual Senior Best & Fairest winner, GVL Interleague representative, League MVP and former Coburg VFL player, he has consistently performed at an elite level while representing the Lions with distinction. While his individual achievements are impressive, Murphy's influence extends far beyond the football field. Renowned for his professionalism, work ethic and commitment to the club, he has played a significant role in driving standards and helping develop the next generation of Lions players. Now serving as Senior Co-Coach, Murphy continues to lead from the front each week and remains one of the competition's most influential midfielders. SFNC President Peter Elliott said Murphy's contribution to the Lions over the past 11 seasons has been remarkable. “Murph has been an outstanding servant of our football club and thoroughly deserves this recognition,” Mr Elliott said. “His achievements on the field are exceptional, but it's the way he goes about it that sets him apart. “He's one of the hardest workers at the club, a fantastic leader and someone who is so passionate about the success of the Seymour Lions. “He's represented our club with distinction throughout his career and continues to set the standard both as a player and coach. “To reach 150 senior games is a fantastic achievement and one that both Murph and everyone associated with the club should be proud of. “We're incredibly fortunate to have had Murph at Seymour for so long and look forward to seeing him continue to make an impact in the years ahead.”
