I hope they are found OK.  This is a terrible situation, regardless of who they are, or the ‘advice’ they ignored.

    That's a really bad place to be in the water.  Lots of Great White Sharks hanging around near Seal Rocks. 

    There is no way they would have motored across to shark alley on the island, in a 10 foot Ally' boat.

    They must have gone fishing for squid and whiting,  between Flinders and Shoreham.

     

    I don't like their chances,  if they've been carried out into Bass Straight.  Its been treacherously cold over the weekend.

    I fear the outcome is not going to be good for poor Hibbo. Through all the cr@p of a suspended season, he’s now very likely going to have to deal with the loss of his brother.

    Terribly tragic. Hope they’re both found alive and well.

    Tragic news for both families. Considering conditions on Sunday, the size of the vessel and where it was found I’m not optimistic.

    Yep I can't imagine why they would have gone out in that weather given the size of the wind gusts and the swell.

    Heartbreaking.

     

    Lets hope the Hibberd and deSliva families can have people nearby to support them at this horrible time.

    Their boat transformed into a submarine? Inviting speculation on this incident is just tactless. 

    I understand where 'Fence'  is coming from.

    The report said that both mens wallets were found inside DeSilva's tow car.  And the doors were unlocked.

    2 spots left in the 8 imo pies and gws, if we loose tomorrow pies go 10 points clear of us and effectively tie a spot up. Not too worried about the ins and outs but I would say on balance I’d rather be in our position than theres list wise right now. If we are real contender just to make the 8 a win tomorrow is a must.

    Hibberd’s been outstanding this year considering the pain and suffering he’s gone through.

    His pace and kicking from D50 has been as good as it’s been since he’s been with the DEES.

    The true definition of a bounce back year.

    Well down Hibbo.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
