Kris Massie (born May 30, 1980 in Sweden[1][2]) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Massie was recruited to the Carlton Football Club in the 1997 AFL Draft and won a Rising Star nomination in his first AFL season (1998) after debuting less than two weeks before his 18th birthday. As a utility player, Massie failed to live up to his top 10 draft pick status, however, and only managed 43 games in 4 seasons at Carlton before being traded.
At Adelaide, Massie held his spot in the side late in the 2002 season, and in 2003 again performed well enough to hold his spot for the finals series. 2004 saw him play the first 11 games, but he only managed one more match for the year, in Round 17.
In 2005, Massie had turned 25 and was now an experienced member of the team. Kept in as a depth player, Massie played much of his football with Norwood in the SANFL, and only managed 3 games for the year.
Despite this, he was kept on for 2006 where he picked up 20+ possessions on a number of occasions and playing 20 games.
