Mukinbudin

Distinguished and Famous people from Mukinbudin

🏉 Mark Seaby

Mark Seaby was born in Mukinbudin and grew up on the family farm, playing football for the Muka Rams before boarding school in Perth. His route to the AFL led through West Perth and then the West Coast Eagles, with whom he became a premiership player in 2006. He later played for the Sydney Swans and Claremont. As a ruckman, he found himself learning the craft against highly accomplished opponents at training as well as on match day. His own account of those early Rams years makes the local link particularly clear: Mukinbudin supplied both home life and the beginning of his football.

🏆 Rowan Jones

Rowan Jones is another West Coast premiership player whose football journey began at Mukinbudin. He played 158 senior games for the Eagles across ten years and was part of their 2006 premiership side. The club has specifically recognised Mukinbudin among the country communities that helped develop its players, naming Jones alongside Mark Seaby. After his playing career he moved into finance and later served on the Eagles’ board. A country football beginning developed into an enduring involvement with one of Western Australia’s major sporting clubs.
