Max Kruse (born 29 October 1958) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the South Melbourne/Sydney in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Kruse was named after his father, Max Kruse, a former Prahran ruckman who represented the Victorian Football Association at the 1953 Adelaide Carnival.[2][3] Kruse senior was appointed coach of New South Wales club Leeton in 1957 and his son was born the following year.[2]
A centre half-forward / centre half-back, Kruse joined South Melbourne in 1979 and played eight games that year, all from round 13.[4] He made another nine appearances in 1980, then from 1981 to 1984 put together 53 consecutive games.[4] A thigh injury in 1985 kept him out of the league team for much of the year and he played only three games.[2][4] It would be Kruse's final season with the Swans, he then spent four years with Glenelg from 1986 to 1989, after moving to South Australia for business reasons.[2] He was a member of Glenelg's 1986 premiership team.[5]
