In the latest episode of Old Bull, Young Buck, co-host David Mundy didn’t waste any time in calling out guest Sean Darcy for what he felt was a questionable celebration earlier in the season.
While Darcy has had plenty of scoreboard impact as a ruck with eight goals so far this season, Mundy took issue with Darcy taking too much credit for a classy Sam Switkowski snap against GWS in round two.
“I want to bring up a game earlier in the year. You made your way back from injury and had an interrupted start to the season. I think it was a forward 50 stoppage, a nice tap over the back. Sam Switkowski got on the end of it and kicked a nice goal,” Mundy said.
“This was near the 50m line, the throw in, so the play had moved on and you’re watching Switta kick a great goal. Can you talk us through your reaction?”
Darcy then gave his side of the story.
“I always like getting around ‘Switta’ a lot, but as a ruckman, we have to get back to the centre bounce,” Darcy said.
“I didn’t want to run all the way to the forward line. I might have maybe suggested that I was back from injury. Maybe I said ‘yes we kicked a goal, how good, that’s so exciting for the boys, we’re winning.’”

Co-host Griffin Logue came to Mundy’s support.
“This is what I was told. You said ‘I’m back, y’all musta forgot, too big too strong!’ This is with the double python going on,” Logue said.
Darcy then accused Mundy of exaggerating the story.
“I reckon I said ‘I’m back’, I don’t think the rest. Dave was next to me, I think there was a tiny bit of mayo on that,” Darcy said.
Mundy disagreed: “It was definitely there, it’s so vivid in my mind!”
As did Logue: “You said it, this isn’t a debate! It was good from you, though.”
