Mumford !!

He is going to be a quality player for us for a long time I think. Still got some rough edges to his game, but he is generally excellent. He is certainly more than going to replace Jolly (is better round the ground imo, maybe not yet in terms of going forward to kick a few goals), and if we can find a good backup (I think Pyke will grow into this role or maybe Currie longer term- and that's forgetting Seaby) than we are going to dominate the ruck contest most of the time. Do that, and get our young midfield developing and we will be a long way down the road towards building a premiership challenging team.

It's those second attempts! He charges after the ball in a pack like a bull in a china shop and yet does it with finese and poise! Some members of the press were skeptical about offering suck a huge paypacket to a rookie, but boy this guy is GOOD.

Mummy is a 110kg midfielder who also does a bit of rucking on the side. Worth his weight in gold.

On today's prices that would mean he is worth $5,715,438.85. I hope he doesn't see this and want to renegotiate his contract.

The Return of the Mummy
The best thing about this article is his unreformed attitude to tackling. Encouraging on Pykey too.

I love him!

A good question put to me today by someone- did Collingwood screw up by going for Jolly and not chasing Mummy? They could have had Mummy plus Jetta and a lot of cap space.

Curious to hear what people think, I went with hindsight is 20/20 and they needed a sure thing.

For sure. Mummy is more suited to the way collingwood play atm than Jolly. Boy did the swans style really compliment Jolly in a big way. One of the most common remarks i hear from pie fans is how slow he is.
