Bio
Recruited from North Geelong, Angie Muller established himself as a robust follower and ruckman for the Cats throughout the 1930s. He became a central figure in the club's engine room, earning the Best and Fairest award in 1936 for his consistency and physical presence. Muller's most significant contribution to the club came the following season, where he played a vital role in Geelong's 1937 Premiership victory over Collingwood, a match widely regarded as one of the greatest Grand Finals of the era.
Muller's time at Corio Bay concluded under unique circumstances brought about by the Second World War. With Geelong forced into recess for the 1942 season due to travel restrictions and player shortages, Muller was one of several Cats who transferred to other VFL clubs to keep playing, finding a temporary home at Fitzroy. He played a single season with the Maroons before retiring, leaving the game as a centenary player and a premiership hero for Geelong.
