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

Edited by Redleg

 
 

Yes. 

Clearly. 


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

Yes one of them.

 

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.

Not a Melbourne player caught gambling ! Oh no....


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???

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
