Career
Muller, from North Geelong, made three VFL appearances for Geelong early in the 1936 VFL season.[1][2]
He didn't play a senior game in 1937, but was a member of the Geelong seconds premiership team.[3] His brother, Angie Muller, played in Geelong's senior premiership that year.[4]
In 1939 he joined Warrnambool in the Hampden Football League and ended the year with another premiership.[5][6]
He returned to Geelong in 1940 and played seven games, including their semi-final loss to Essendon, which would be his final appearance at VFL level.[7]
Death
Muller died on 19 May 1947, aged 32.[8][9]
An inquest found that he had died from nicotine poisoning. It was unclear how he had ingested nicotine, as he was a non smoker and hadn't been using any insecticide.[8]
