    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.

    "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?

    Top bloke and an amazing sportsman. Architect, author, raconteur. A real character who will be sadly missed. A life well lived.

    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:

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
