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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
