Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Under Jock McHale, Collingwood won premierships in each of Muir's first three seasons at the club but he didn't participate in any of the finals campaigns. He missed the entire 1930 VFL season when Collingwood made it four in a row. He finally got regular game time in 1932 and made 17 appearances for the year, including two finals. It was however his last season with Collingwood and he finished his VFL career with stints at Footscray and Fitzroy.[2]

Muir continued playing football in the VFA, with Preston, which he coached in 1938 when Wyn Murray resigned during the season.[3]
