Tony Ongarello lists Sorrento home
The man the AFL encyclopedia once described as a great player, but an unreliable kick, has listed his Sorrento beach house.
Tony Ongarello, Fitzroy Lion turned television commentator, can expect more than $1.1 million for Ellis Cottage at 3465 Point Nepean Road.
The sportsman made headlines in 1955 introducing the ‘place kick’ – effectively a soccer kick – to the then-VFL competition.
Ellis Cottage overlooks the Sorrento Golf Club to the rear and is a short walk to Sorrento Pier.
With two residences, the biggest including a living/family room, separate dining room, two bedrooms and an entertainment deck, and the smaller with two beds, it is for private sale.
