David Mundy (born July 20, 1985), in Seymour, Victoria, Australia is an Australian rules footballer. He plays as a half back flanker and began his football career at Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup. His nickname is Barra, after the fish barramundi.
[edit] Fremantle career
Mundy was drafted by Fremantle at selection 19 at the 2003 AFL Draft. This selection was traded to Fremantle by the Western Bulldogs in return for Steven Koops. Upon moving to WA in 2004 he was allocated to the Subiaco Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).
He spent the entire 2004 season playing with Subiaco and was a part of their premiership team. Impressive WAFL form continued into 2005 and he was selected by Fremantle to make his AFL debut at the MCG against Melbourne in Round 6. His poise and composure in defence saw Mundy maintain his position in the side for all 17 remaining games for the season. In round 14 he was recognised by the AFL by being nominated for the rising star award. In the final voting he came 3rd behind Brett Deledio and Ryan Griffen with 15 votes. He also was awarded the 2005 Beacon Award as the best young talent on the Fremantle list.
[edit] 2008
Mundy started the 2008 season in rare form, and has been shifted to more of a midfield role in order to utilise his kicking ability.
He wears guernsey number 16.
