Bio
A product of the St Kilda District, Max Leslie commenced his league football journey away from home, debuting for Geelong in the final season of the Second World War. Standing 180cm with a sturdy frame, he was a utility capable of filling various roles, managing 14 games and four goals during his solitary campaign at Kardinia Park in 1945. Leslie transferred to St Kilda the following year, a move that brought him closer to his local roots as the competition began to settle into the post-war era. He added another eight senior appearances for the Saints in 1946, predominantly featuring as a flanker or follower, before his VFL career concluded after just two seasons.
