Moving scenes as David Mundy and Fremantle Dockers let their hair down in Melbourne after Collingwood loss

David Mundy and his Dockers teammates have let their hair down in Melbourne after being eliminated from the finals by Collingwood.

Fremantle’s season ended with a 20-point thrashing of the Magpies at the MCG on Saturday night, but the players have plenty to celebrate after breaking a seven-year finals drought and producing stellar performances throughout 2022.

In a video posted to Nat Fyfe’s, who traveled with the team despite being injured, Instagram, at least a dozen players, including Lachie Schultz, Will Brodie, Griffin Logue and Luke Ryan, can be seen chanting “Mundy” outside what looks like a pub on Sunday night.

The chants quickly turn to cheers as the departing champion is hoisted onto someone’s shoulders.

He joins the cheers and swings his arms as if pumping up a crowd.

Mundy’s career also ended on Saturday after 376 AFL games, a feat that places him eighth in all-time games played throughout AFL and VFL history.

It was an emotional scene for the 37-year-old after the game as he spoke to his son Hudson, who flew over with the team, and was led off to moving applause even from the Collingwood faithful.

Part of the team is expected back in Perth on Monday night, while others will return later.
