Mummy goes on a bender

[aardvark]

Reported on the Footy show tonight that Shane Mumford "went on a Bender" friday night in Melbourne after flying back from the Anzac day game.
Reportedly the Club has sanctioned him dealing with the problem before it became a big issue.

Hope he was made to shave that @@@@ off his face as punsihment

Instant Bunyip just add alcohol or was that 34 sausages.

He was probably upset the plane missed Sydney and went to Melbourne.

Who cares tbh, they had a 10 day break. The guys where having a few bevvies after the ANZAC day game, no harm done!

I have felt he is a player struggling, has his premiership and now has lost he desire. Just does not look hungry, Pyke does

That's a pretty big statement to make. Personally I think it's pretty hard to judge the motivation of a player from the outside, hopefully he'll come right but yeah I'm willing to be patient

[Bloody Hell]

Good thing about being a Sydney team. Would be drawn and quartered if he played for a Vic club. No doubt he will get a very firm slap on the wrist if true, but won't get any "baggage" from the experience.

Disappointing if true, even moreso given his average start to the season

Might be the kick in the pants he needs to fire up.

Interesting that it took a week to leak out.
Must have been a slow news week!!

It probably just depends on how big a bender it was, the media is prone to blow things a bit out of proportion.

He was coming off a run of games in an abnormal timeframe, so I daresay he hadn't gone out for a few beers after the game in the middle. He'd played on the Thursday and would probably have already done his recovery, wasn't playing for another 8-9 days and we can assume he had longer than normal until his next training session.

Horse confirms Mumford was disciplined for his night out.

How many kebabs would Mummy put away after a big night out?

[Doctor]

Anyone who saw him at Lakeside Oval the morning after the Grand Final would know that it must take a lot to slow Mummy down when he gets on it.

[Swansongster]

Going by his performance at Lakeside last year on the day after the Grand Final, our Mummy likes a drink.

Is this the club's first indiscretion identified by the media since Hannebery's Humpty Dumpty effort.

BTW - I missed the story. What happened? Are we talking about getting in a scuffle? Getting thrown out of a bar as someone who was too intoxicated? Or are we descending into Julian O'Neill/Nate Myles territory?

[Nich]

He kind of stands out doesn't he?

You'd have to have some back up to want to throw the Big Mummy out of an establishment. I suppose the Bouncers are just as big though. I don't have too much of a problem with it, but being refused entry/removed from a venue the day after a game is a little concerning. Hopefully he wasn't completely wiped and the Bouncers were just a bit overzealous. Time to step up again Mummy. Tough run coming up for the boys.
