    Is this confirmed?

    EDIT: It is now up on the Herald Sun website here.

    It's probably best to post links when someone dies, not "just heard".

    Really?  Unnecessary nitpicking.

    RIP Tangles, great character of life.

    Public forum announcing someone's death, it's important.

    Vale Max Walker, what an incredible character and sportsman.

    Reported this morning that Max Walker passed away this morning

    Don't know any details but he represented the MFC as a ruckman

    I remember 'Tangles' as a good Demon footballer, an excellent Aussie cricketer and a fun-loving speaker and author.  Crammed a lot into a relatively short life, and gave a lot of sports lovers a lot of enjoyment along the way.  I'm saddened to hear of his passing.  RIP Maxy.

    Very sad. He's a family friend and you honestly could not meet a more welcoming and positive bloke.

    Taken way too soon.

    A very talented sportsman, playing cricket and Aussie rules at the highest level.

    Was only listening to the original 'Twelfth Man' a week or two ago. 

    RICHIE: Security, if Max Walker comes within 10 feet of this f*cking door shoot him ok?

    SECURITY: Yes Mr Benaud.

    RIP

    Very sad news.

    Met Max a few times and he was a fantastic guy and always ready to have a laugh.

    Sent me a copy of one of his books, which I didn't have and refused payment.

    RIP. Max, a lovely guy and will be sorely missed by family and friends.

    "You're not allowed in here Max"

    "I've got this big F&@8king Cricket Bat in my hand that says i am"....

    Had a few chats with Big Maxy when i worked at GTV9 in 1986

    What a lovely guy with a huge smile. 

    Too soon

    RIP

    You normally do "hear" about it unless you actually "see" it?

    Loved reading his books as a kid and obviously the classic 12th man stuff. He always seemed like a really relaxed down to earth man who didn't take life to seriously. Melanoma again... Very sad.

    I knew Max for fifty years and first met him when we started architecture together at RMIT. He was a great guy in all respects of his life. Let's hope that Daniel Andrews honours him with a State Funeral in the same way that Jeff Kennet honoured Teddy Whitten! :mad:

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
