Stats
Bio
Recruited from Chelsea, Max Turner was a versatile tall who faced the difficult task of breaking into a star-studded Collingwood outfit during the Jock McHale era. Standing 182cm, he was capable of playing as a follower or in the defensive key posts, offering flexibility to the Magpies' lineup. He earned his senior debut midway through the 1933 season, featuring in a win over Essendon and a loss to Geelong, but struggled to retain his spot against the depth of a team that had dominated the league for the previous half-decade. His VFL career was ultimately limited to those two appearances, as the formidable competition for places at Victoria Park saw him unable to displace the club's established stars.
