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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
