Stats
Bio
Recruited from Penshurst in Victoria's Western District, Max Nicolson joined Geelong for a brief stint during the uncertainty of the 1941 season. A solidly built player standing 180cm, he broke into the senior side to play eight games that year without hitting the scoreboard. His time at the elite level was abruptly cut short by global events, as he answered the call to serve in the Australian Army during World War II. Nicolson never returned to VFL football after his military service, leaving his career as a singular, interrupted chapter typical of the many young footballers whose sporting primes were sacrificed for the war effort.
