Stats
Bio
Recruited from North Geelong, Jack Muller arrived at Kardinia Park in the final stages of the Second World War, debuting for the Cats in the back half of the 1945 season. Standing at just 173cm but with a solid 81kg frame, Muller was a stocky rover and forward pocket who knew how to find the goals, averaging better than a major a game across his short league tenure. He established himself as a regular fixture in the 1946 side, missing just two matches and providing a reliable avenue to goal for a Geelong outfit struggling to find its footing in the immediate post-war era. While his time at the top level was brief, finishing after just two seasons, his strike rate suggested a handy small forward who could capitalise on limited opportunities before the club began its ascent later in the decade.
