Shane Mumford (born July 5, 1986) is an Australian rules football player, recruited at pick 57 in the 2007 AFL Rookie Draft by the Geelong Football Club.
[edit] Early Career
In 2006, Mumford was the recipient of the Bunyip best and fairest award, as well as being the runner-up for the Ellinbank and District Football League medal. After being made aware of his abilities by Geelong VFL player, Jason Davenport, who was also in the AFL side as a rookie, Geelong's VFL side welcomed Mumford into their ranks for the 2007 season.[1] It became quite a disappointing season for Mumford, only playing in six games for the premiership winning side,[1] but his pure rucking ability won over the Geelong recruiters, who then drafted him with their last pick in the 2007 Rookie Draft.[1]
After being drafted, Mumford showed up to pre-season training having re-inventing himself, losing 20kg and improved his fitness levels.[1] Mumford was elevated off Geelong's rookie list on April 23, 2008, due to long-term injury of Matthew Egan,[2] and was then immediately named to play in his first match in Round 6 - the following weekend.[1][2] He replaced fellow ruckman Trent West to take part in Geelong's one-point win over Fremantle at Subiaco.
