Career highlights


Max George (born 4 January 1952) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in three states, for Fitzroy of the Victorian Football League (VFL), Swans Districts and Central District.

George had a strong start to his VFL career, kicking five goals on his debut, against Essendon at Waverley, setting a new club record. He followed it up with a four goal haul when Fitzroy took on Richmond the subsequent weekend and finished the year with 20 goals.

Before arriving at Fitzroy for his single season stint, George played with Swans Districts in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). A full-forward, he topped their goalkicking in 1969, 1973 and 1974. His tally of 90 goals in 1974 was also enough to win him the league's Leading Goalkicker Trophy, the first Swan Districts player to do so. During the season he put in one particularly memorable performance against West Perth when he kicked 14 goals. George, who took many good overhead marks, represented Western Australia in three interstate matches, for 11 goals, and was in their squad for the 1975 Knockout Carnival. In 1977 he took the field for Geraldton and then crossed to Central District in South Australia.

The full-forward spent three seasons at Central and was their leading goalkicker in 1978 with 68 goals.
