I don't think Maxy was ever listed at another club prior to being rookied by the Pies. Had trained at a couple, not sure about North, but definitely had a go at the Cats. |

I Agree. Can we call one of them Colvan? |
on a slight tangent but kinda apt given it is the spring racing carnival ...

Teddy Mayes used to deliver margarine in the Caulfield area. In 1942, he told customers on his delivery run that, if it looked like rain, to back Colonus.
Sure enough, it rained and Teddy plonked a few pounds on the long-shot.
It duly greeted the judge and, with his winnings, Teddy bought a potato chip business for his two sons, Colin and Ivan, and named it Colvan after them.
And for the next 30 years, Colvan chips was an Aussie institution. |
