Bio
Born in Seymour, Max Millen navigated a winding path to the VFL, spending time on the lists of both Fitzroy and South Melbourne without breaking into their senior lineups before North Melbourne offered him an opportunity. Joining a squad desperate for fresh talent after a winless 1931 campaign, he was one of six new players unveiled by captain-coach Dick Taylor in the opening round of 1932. Millen operated as a forward option and proved effective early, booting seven goals across eight consecutive matches to start the year. The brother of Fitzroy regular Jack Millen, his time at the top level was ultimately brief, with his VFL career concluding midway through that solitary season at Arden Street as the club continued to cycle through players during a difficult rebuilding phase.
