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.

 

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.

 


Have they actually found the lads?

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

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
