Hawthorn (VFA)
He played for a number of seasons with Hawthorn in the VFA.South Melbourne (VFL)
In the 1920 pre-season, he was training with South Melbourne; and, according to 'Kickero', "Munro, formerly of Hawthorn, a big man with a somewhat awkward style, bids fair to become a player of the stamp of Les. Charge, the old Southern favorite follower".St Kilda (VFL)
Prior to the 7 June 1920 match against Collingwood, the St Kilda coach, George Sparrow, and a number of St Kilda players resigned in protest to the selection of Billy Schmidt. Other players who had been selected to play – Arnold Beitzel, Albert Bragg, Bill Cubbins, Wels Eicke, Bill Lowrie, Pat Maloney – refused to play and, in order to field a team, a number of last-minute replacements were used by a desperate St Kilda, having to play Collingwood at Collingwood, including three "first game players", Munro, Ted Bulmer, and Steve Gill.Although St Kilda lost the match, due to the positional and tactical changes made by the new playing-coach, Roy Cazaly, at half-time, they out-scored Collingwood in the second half of the match – Collingwood, which had scored 11 goals by half-time, could only score a single goal in the second half, while St Kilda were able to score four – and Munro was one of St Kilda's best players on the day.
