\u201cI grew up at the footy club, so I understand what local footy means to so many in the community. Irrespective of it all, I am just excited to put my hand up and provide them a day they won\u2019t forget.”<\/p>\n
Mundy also said he is hoping to get a win on the board for the Saints.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing a bit of training to make sure the body holds up during the game, so I should be fit, firing and ready to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully I can play my part to get Carngham a win, and provide a much-needed boost to the local community, as at the end of the day, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about\u201d.<\/p>\n
