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?

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
