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.

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.

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.

What a lovely guy with a huge smile. 

Too soon

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:

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
