Well this is [censored] news.

Michael’s brother went fishing, hasn’t returned though the boat found:

AFL player Michael Hibberd’s brother is missing following fishing trip in wild weather

Thoughts to the Hibberd family.

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

Ok......but!!!

Not going there

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

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.

This sucks

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.

 

 

 

Thoughts are with both famlies at this time.

 

Have they actually found the lads?

Haven't seen anything in papers or on news that they have.

 

Have to feel for Michael, his family and his friends, as well as the other person loved ones.

Playing great footy at the moment Hibbo, keep up the great work legend ?

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.
