Teams

Recruited from the New Town Football Club in Tasmania, Max Logan was one of many Apple Isle exports who crossed Bass Strait to try their luck in the VFL during the 1950s. Standing at 182cm, he arrived at the Lakeside Oval in 1954 as a versatile option capable of filling gaps across the ground, though his low goal tally suggests he primarily operated as a utility or defender rather than a key target in attack. He broke into the South Melbourne senior side for the 1954 season, managing to hold his place for a handful of games as the club navigated a difficult mid-table period. Despite showing promise, his career at the elite level was brief, spanning just 13 appearances over two seasons before he finished his tenure in red and white at the end of 1955.
