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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
