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: 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
