Stats
Bio
Recruited to Carlton for the 1960 season, Max Miers was a ruckman who struggled to cement a regular senior spot at Princes Park, managing just six games across two years. Seeking greater opportunity, he crossed to Fitzroy in 1962, where he became a serviceable tall utility capable of resting in the forward pocket. His career is defined by his role in the famous 1963 "Miracle Match," where he played as a second ruckman and booted a goal in the winless Lions' shock victory over the eventual premiers, Geelong. Miers remained a regular fixture in the Fitzroy lineup until his retirement in 1965, remembered as a hardworking contributor during a lean era for the club.
