Stats
Bio
A diminutive rover standing just 173cm, Max Glass was a teenager when he earned his brief opportunity with South Melbourne during the final year of the Second World War. He made his senior debut in 1945—a season etched in VFL history for the club's appearance in the infamous "Bloodbath" Grand Final—but found opportunities scarce in a formidable lineup that ultimately finished runner-up to Carlton. Restricted to just three senior appearances without troubling the scorers, Glass was unable to cement a spot in the finest 22 and departed the Lake Oval the following year to continue his football journey in the VFA. He crossed to powerhouse club Williamstown for the 1946 season, where he joined the Seagulls' ranks as they defended their premiership, though his transition was marred by a broken hand suffered early in his tenure.
