Mummy Memories!

[MightyBloods]

I thought it appropriate to the big guy that we post our fav Mummy memories. I could say the obvious and mention him turning up 'whoooing' to the Albert Part crowd the morning after the grand final. Mine though is after Mal's goal decider in the GF seeing the big guy in his red vest hugging and dancing with his other Swan teamates on the interchange. Which then made me think......Bolts and Mitch were also in that circle! Well done guys and good fortune to you all!

His many bone crunching tackles for me, especially the one on GAJ. Probably slightly too enthusiastic, as the MRP would agree, but was great to see him bury that little bald magician into the Skilled stadium turf! Great stuff Mummy, ya big sausage monster ! We'll miss ya legend!

Crunching Petrenko when he tried to go past the ball at Mummy this year. Petrenko went off injured.

As did Mummy with a fractured cheekbone

Don't let that get in the way of a good story! I just enjoyed the fact the instigator came off hurt when hitting a bloke mostly standing still.

Was it even looked at the tribunal?

Mummy running the length of the ground (2013, lordy which game was it), waving his arms, and all the other players "not seeing him", tackling left right and centre, and then having to run all the way back. Poetry in slow motion.

No matter what, we can never call the man lazy. He always put in a bit effort, no matter where he was on the ground.

Mumford's one vs three defensive effort at Subiaco in his first season, which forced a boundary throw-in. I remember Roos marvelling at it after the game.

Watching him kick a goal at the SCG last year and persuading a small section to join me in singing :
"Mummy-Mummy-Mummy - It's a Ruck-Man's World!"
Cos we need to be a bit more original than shouting nothing more than two variations of "Sydney",don't we?

Mummy will be afforded the same high honour as Schneider and Dempster : a premiership player who left, but does not get booed by us.
More than can be said for the 2005 captain.

I forget the opponent but I recall the TV commentator saying "it's like running into a tree!", as a player with eyes only for the ball ran straight into a stationary Mumford and just bounced off like a fly.

Recent game - last year or year before? - I'm sure someone with a better memory can remind me of the details.
