The midfield superstar was as focussed as ever as he left the change rooms with his teammates to contest Carlton Draught Derby 40.
But waiting for him on the playing arena were the two most important people in his life.
“I actually got a little emotional walking up the race and seeing (wife) Sally and (son) Finn at the end,” Mundy said.
“They obviously mean a lot to me. They help me do what I love, and I do it to the best of my ability.
“So I love them very much and I was a little bit emotional, to be honest.”
Mundy also had support in the form of family members who had made the trip from Victoria for his milestone game.
Among those present were his mum and dad, his three sisters and his nephews.
“It’s obviously special having the family here for the big moments,” Mundy said.
“For them to make the effort to come across has been really terrific.
It’s good for my son, to have his young cousins over to play with him.
“Our house has been a hub of activity, but I love it.”
As has become custom now at Freo, Mundy was presented with his game jumper in a presentation in front of the whole team and his loved ones.
Luke McPharlin was the player to speak, and he relayed his disappointment at not being able to be out there.
Mundy said the pre-game milestone presentations at the club were a great initiative.
“I think it really sets everyone‘s mind to give great effort for that player for that game,” he said.
Something else that surprised Mundy was being featured on the front cover of the AFL Record, which his sister pointed out to him after the game.
“To be on the cover of the Record is obviously a pretty big thing and to play 200 games is a massive thing.
“I never thought that I’d get there 11 years ago.
“I’m very proud to have made it and hopefully there’s a few more to go.”
