    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
