    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
