"Remember his kicking?

Up and under would best describe it. "

I reckon that's harsh. One of his strengths was his ability with the "non-preferred"....left...foot, as well as a powerful right foot.

He kicked long, and he was a good kick for goal. He often broke clear, had a few bounces and roosted it into the forward line, catching the defence out. But sheer guts were his main forte. Guts and strength, inspiring his team-mates.

I agree with "Swampfox", rating him with Dixon, Flower and Bluey Adams.

Probably my favourite ever demons player. Does anyone else see similarities between him and Moloney?

Both big units.... Both had similar running style games.... Both loved to bomb it into the F50..... But Stinga had a lot more muscle definition!! HaHa.... Beamer is bigger, but Stinga was obviously a bigger fan of HydroxyCut :D

No.

One was an outstanding line breaking midfielder that was cut down by injury. The other is an average footballer, limited thinking under pressure and poor defensive skills.

He took one of the bravest, most skilful marks you could ever see running full tilt with the flight of the ball. It was against the Crows in Adelaide & is indelibly stamped in my memory. It summed up just how good his best was.

I remember a great mark of Tingay's on the intro movie of the game 'AFL 98'.

I'm not sure if it's the same one, but it was as you described it.

No.

I don't see it either.

Kicked the winning goal in his first game i seem to remember. Round 1 1989 against Fitzroy. Stinga was great. When He fired the Club Fired.

Yes I remember that game too. Built like a pencil with one of the great mullets of the 80`s. And yes, I remember that mark he took in Adelaide. There were not many braver players running around than Stingray in the entire league let alone at Melbourne. He and G. Lovett were two hard nuts that finished footy far too early and we missed them both dearly.

I was obsessed with stinga as a youngster. Him and Rod Grinter are my favourite ever Melbourne players. Both hard and tough and with all the qualities that I want in our team today. My current favourite player is, not surprisingly... Brock Mclean.

Yeah, me too. You would have liked Viney's tough in and under and get dirty style play too. He set the tenacity in the centre. Especially in 1998. He led from the front in the middle. Didn't have the class or the foot skills like the best of today- or even back then, but his strength in the packs he had it in spades.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
