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.

[Demonsterative 3,020]

Enjoyed watching him play. Good luck Jimmy!

Bloke will be a absolute weapon in country footy.

Didn't he enjoy that 2022 premiership!

Go with our blessing, Moose.

[whatwhat say what 22,909]

still unfathomable to me that he never got a crack at afl level

better than many other players of his size and skill

[Go the Biff 3,440]

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

[MadAsHell 4,214]

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

All the best Jimmy.

Good luck to those poor bastards.😂

"Heart and Soul" just rolls off the tongue re Jimmy. What a warrior! Hopefully Whitey stays goes again to provide continuing leadership at Casey.

[layzie 33,989]

What a player.

You need these guys at VFL level.

[Redleg 41,409]

Well done James.

Good luck in the next stage of your footy career.

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.

Loved watching the Moose play, tackling machine

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.💕

[sue 9,126]

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

[Guest]

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.

[Bystander 903]

Good luck to you, Jimmy.

Loved watching you play.

[spirit of norm smith 16,574]

What a soldier.  

Jimmy was heart and soul.

Always gives 100%.  

Loved his celebration after the 2022 Grand Final.
