Mundy's return locked in

David Mundy will return to where it all began, donning the Seymour Lions jumper on May 11 against Kyabram in a blockbuster Round 6 Goulburn Valley League clash.


The Lions announced the signing of the 376 game Fremantle superstar in December last year, originally recruited from Seymour in 2003.


Mundy boasts an illustrious CV, All Australian in 2015, Best & Fairest winner in 2010, Fremantle Captain in 2016, 120 Brownlow Medal votes and the ninth most AFL/VFL games in history.


Seymour Lions President Gerard O’Sullivan said the club was set for a huge day to welcome home the club’s finest player.


“There’s been a massive buzz around the club since we announced Dave was returning to The Den and we’re stoked to have a date in the calendar for his homecoming,” Mr O’Sullivan said.


“Dave has been keen to do this for a while now and is looking forward to putting the Lions jumper on once again.


“It will be an amazing day for the club, hopefully a big crowd and plenty of support for Dave and his family.”


The Lions are working through the season fixture to lock in further games with Mundy.


“This certainly isn’t a one-off and we’re probably looking at several games this season that line up with Dave’s other commitments,” Mr O’Sullivan said.


“We’re hoping to be in a position in the coming weeks to announce a couple more appearances at Kings Park throughout the middle of the season.


“Dave has really been driving this with us and it just goes to show what a quality person he is, looking to give back to his junior club and the Seymour community.


“We can’t wait to welcome him and his family to Kings Park and see him put on a show for the Lions faithful.”

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.”
