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?

I remember good youtube footage but would have to chase up link.

 

Ok, go to 73.22

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:

 

Poor Tangles.

RIP.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
