    I bloody hope he doesn't ever turn out like Chambers, I don't think he will though.
    I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adore

            Biggest difference is that Geelong and their supporters didn't want to see Mumford go whereas with Chambers they were falling over themselves to offload him.

                The coach and the footy director were loathe to see him go too. To quote Bomber himself, "footy sucks sometimes".

                    Great to see Mumford at the Swans. Showed so much potential this season, hopefully can become an elite ruckman in the next few years.

                        I'm optimistic about Mumford - not exactly sure why but at least he is ready-to-go, and we've had a good record in recent times targeting these sorts of players and developing them.

                        Coming into the system late should mean he still has plenty to learn, and also get a lot fitter. There were only 4 games this year he played as the only ruckman for Geelong - unfortunately for him they were Rds 16-19 - which left him buggered and the obvious one to make way for Ottens.

                        My main memory of him this year was struggling against Hawthorn (the game where Mooney went into the ruck after half-time and turned the game). He is a dinosaur which goes against the modern trend of more agile ruckmen, but at least strong and no signs of the back or knee injuries most younger ruckmen struggle with.

                        Most likely more of a work horse and in danger of getting exposed on big grounds against the athletic ruckmen ? less of an issue at the SCG.
