In terms of age and games played, David Mundy sits right in the middle of Fremantle’s leadership group.
But he said that does not mean a whole lot in the group’s process.
“When we all go into that leadership group meeting, we all speak with the one voice,” he said.
Mundy and Matt de Boer are the leadership group’s delegates to the AFL Players Association.
It’s their job to relay any items of discussion from the leadership group to the AFLPA and vice-versa.
“We liaise with Ian Prendergast at the AFLPA quite often, and when an issue arises, we then take it back to the leadership group and discuss it, and then filter it out to the players,” Mundy said.
“If we have any issues that require the AFLPA, they’re generally brought up by the playing group and then the leadership group discusses it and we talk to Ian.”
For now, Mundy isn’t harboring any thoughts of captaining Fremantle when Matthew Pavlich retires.
“It’s not something I really think about, to be honest,” he said.
“I just try and improve myself, first of all as a footballer, to give the team what it needs, and then as a leader, to help out after that.”
