Player Profile:
Name: Max Yeoland
Nickname: Yeoy
Position: Mid/Forward
AFL Sydney Club: North Shore Bombers
Junior Club: Willoughby Wildcats
What is one thing we don’t know about this Rising Star that they are well known for around the club?
Max is famous for his post-training goal-kicking rituals, he doesn’t leave until he’s slotted a handful from the boundary. And when he nails one during a match, you’ll often get a custom choreographed handshake celebration with a teammate.
What role do they play for the club both on and off the field?
On the field, Max is our energiser bunny with relentless pressure, explosive speed, and a knack for kicking goals when we need them most. Off the field, he brings a great vibe, lifting team morale with his humour, celebrations, and genuine love for the club.
Coach quote on Performance:
“Max played a key role in our 10-goal win over ladder-leaders Manly, finishing with 14 disposals, 4 tackles, and 6 shots on goal. He was among our best on the day and continues his breakout season, having played every game in Premier Division. Alongside his trademark forward pressure, he’s currently ranked in the top 10 for league goal kicking.” – Ryan Meldrum (North Shore Bombers – Men’s Premier Division Coach)
