Does anyone else think the bloke in the Ladbrokes ad is Stinga ( Stephen Tingay )?

    Yes. 

    Clearly.

    Looks like the Sydney Swan incarnation of Stinga. I opened the video expecting the surfie long blonde haired shirtless Demon Stinga!

    Think you're right, each time I've seen that ad I've tried to put a name to that face.

    I remember him as much smaller, paler, and although fast, only running on two legs. Still had a mane though.

    I remember him as an outstanding wingman, whose career was cut short when (stone cold sober) he fell through a plate glass door.

    He fell through the glass working as an apprentice builder I think. You know in the days when players had weekday jobs.

    I don't think either of the above are true. He worked as a groundskeeper at the Yarra Valley Country Club maintaining the greens etc. He fell through a plate glass window. A bit dopey.

    One of my favourite players ever.

    So, is that him, the bald bloke?

    I remember Tingay well but he certainly has changed: his flowing blond locks rivaled those of Warwick Capper back then.

    And if I remember correctly he is one of those players to score a goal with his first kick! Against Fitzroy???

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
