For those who are on the facebook pages you would have come across this name Hibby Hibbert. He was a larger then life character who was pretty passionate and vocal character who once admitting to being Yze Magic here on demonland. Don't know how true that was but a real tragic to lose one of our former great supporters.

Rip mate.

    A ripping bloke to sit down and have a beer with and talk demons, this is a terribly shocking revelation. RIP Hibby, you'll be sadly missed.

    Yze_Magic still posts on Demonland under another alias. 95% sure of that.

    Not familiar with Hibby Hibbert but may he rest in peace. Hope he got to see Watts' magnificent goal on Monday as his final MFC memory.

    If one has to die, then to do it after Melbourne have beaten The Filth on QB is  a fitting moment

    RIP Big Fella

    Hey Guys,

    Haven't been on for quite sometime but thought it might be a good time to come on and have a chat about Hibby.

    Hibby was larger than life. Not just in stature, but he had the personality and passion of no other.

    He loved this club. Hence why we got along so well. 

    There were only two types of clothing Hibby owned. His work uniform, and Dees apparel.

    Thos who had the pleasure know that he loved a frothy, loved a dart and loved nothing more than chewing the fat over the Dees.

    I will miss him. He was one guy I always knew I would bump into at the game or on the train home.

    A top bloke all round.

    United with his Sister, who he tragically lost a few years ago.

    Rest In Peace, Matthew 'Hibby' Hibbert

    Rather shocked by this. He added me on Facebook randomly to talk Melbourne. Always invited me for a beer but the Royal Pre-game with the misses is a hard sell lol funny guy and very kind. One of the most passionate Dees fans out there.

    Seems his family took his Facebook page offline. Understandable.

    He's not the guy they showed quite distressed after the huge Essendon loss during the Neeld days.

    If so he was in Transport on Monday before the game.

    R.I.P. Hibby, I enjoyed teaching him at Warragul Regional College, not many Dees supporters in Warragul. Always passionate about the Dees, former player with local club Dusties and enjoyed his cricket with Western Park. Sympathy to his family and close friends.

    This [censored] club. Another faithful member who has lived their entire life without ever experiencing the ultimate in sporting supporter success. We need to build a memorial. And then another one for those who have somehow stuck with us since 64.

    Was he really Yze Magic? I worked a lot with YM on Bay 13 (where I am Biffinator) and he was always cagey about his identity.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
