Loved the passion and effort Moose brought to Casey. Will be missed, big loss for Casey. Wish him well at Cora Lynn.

    Imagine lining up in the West Gippsland Footy League and having to take on the Moose? 

    Massive loss for Casey. Heart and soul of that club.

    Didn't he enjoy that 2022 premiership!

    Go with our blessing, Moose.

    The sort of bloke you'd love to have as a team mate.  Thanks Moose. Glad you got that well deserved flag.

    Very sad to see the Moose leave Casey. He's been an absolute warrior!

    All the best Jimmy.

    Would not have enjoyed his last game. The way the VFL competition is run is farcical and an insult to players like Munro who give their heart and soul every week of the season that’s not interrupted by yet another bye or the withdrawal of half of the team’s best players because of fixturing issues created from above.

    Moose certainly DID NOT enjoy his last game, and didn’t make a secret of how angry he was about this. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is as loyal and dedicated as they come, so who can blame him.

    Him & White were the glue down at Casey.

    Talk about blood and guts.

    Sounds like he wasn't happy at all with the final game.

    A pretty ordinary ending to the season at both levels for us it would seem.

    Will be sorely missed.  Was a thorn in every other club's side.

    Goody luck Jimmy and thanks for the amazing efforts & memories plus the 22 Premiership year.

    Good luck James Moose Munro, sorry to see you go loved your stats moose tackles a huge feature, the boys would have walked taller in your shadow. The AFL should be disgusted with their handling and fixturing of the VFL competition total disgrace. Enjoy coaching and playing you will finally know who is playing next week.💕

    I wonder if I'll watch any VFL games next year now sans Moose.

    A huge loss for Casey. Will be sorely missed by his teammates and as for the fans, Moose was your quintessential cult hero. We have folks in the DA who follow VFL passionately and they’re so sad to hear he’s leaving. But apparently he loves his job as a paramedic and will continue doing that, he’s also thinking of starting a little family with moose babies running around everywhere 😁🥰 It’s great to know he’ll be happy post-Casey.

    Stunts like pulling half the team out just do not work in the longer term...the wrong message and culture pervades the whole group.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
