The stage is set for David Mundy’s 300th game, and the midfielder couldn’t be happier.

The 33-year-old is thrilled he gets the opportunity to play his milestone game in front of the Purple Army under lights on Saturday against the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium. 

He’s hopeful of a big crowd as the club also commemorates the Len Hall ANZAC Tribute game. 

“I’ve found the night games at Optus Stadium to be a really spectacular occasion,” Mundy said.

“To be home and playing in front of a packed crowd, and if we get the win, that would be the ultimate. That would be my ideal scenario.

“Virgin Australia are also going to make an absolute fortune with my friends and family flying over, too!”

Mundy said joining Matthew Pavlich as a 300-game player would make the achievement extra special.

“Obviously, Matthew’s accolades really speak for themselves,” Mundy said.

“I don’t think I could add to that in any way. It was great to play with him and play under him as our captain for so long. 

“I’m really privileged to be able to call him a friend outside of football as well, and to be the second WA player to reach the milestone, it’s a bit of a mind-blowing stat to be honest."

Having played in a number of milestone games, Mundy said the occasions are a chance to reflect on the contributions of others to his life and career.

“I’ve clearly been well cared for in a medical sense and in a physical sense by our physios and doctors," Mundy said.

“On a personal front, I’ve been with my wife Sally since we were 21 and we now have three kids and we’re working hard in the trenches at home bringing them up.

“My wife and her family, in particular, are really supportive of us and help out whenever they can with babysitting, and helping her out when I’m away.

“Even family and friends back in Victoria come over quite a lot and when we go over there, it’s like we never left, so I’m certainly fortunate to have a really good base behind me.”

Mundy said he especially enjoys having his kids at the games as they grow up.

“My oldest, Finn, he’s five now and he’s just starting to understand it and get into it,” Mundy said. 

“It’s really nice having them at the games and especially in the rooms afterwards when everyone is exhausted and tired. 

"Whether we’re up or grumpy after the result, they come in and they’re always happy and really glad to see everyone, so it’s been really nice.”
