Stats
Bio
Recruited from South Bendigo, Max Ellis was a diminutive rover who earned a brief opportunity at VFL level with Carlton during the 1956 season. Standing just 168cm, Ellis relied on his agility and ground-level skills to compete against larger opponents, arriving at Princes Park as a 22-year-old hopeful. He broke into the senior side for a debut against Hawthorn in Round 2 and retained his place for the subsequent fixture against St Kilda, but found it difficult to impact the scoreboard or secure a long-term role in the midfield rotation. Unable to cement a permanent spot in the Blues' lineup, he was omitted following his second match, marking the end of his short stint in the VFL before he returned to the Bendigo region.
