Here is an article from the Geelong Advertiser that the Ox wrote entitled:

'Soak it up Dees, Juddy can get stuffed!'

    what a reaction, what a player, what a good bloke. 

    there would have been lots of emotional responses in demon lounge-rooms all across Aus. 

    lets hope the boys can give him and his son something to cheer about come September.

    I don't know what to tell you my friend.

    Find a way around it, pay to see it or just enjoy the fact that the Ox sunk the boots into Juddy.

    I’m going to share quite a boring story with you all. I was too young to actually appreciate the ox in his prime but when you’re young you are impressionable. A family friend absolutely revered the bloke so I jumped on board as a young fella.

    I’ve since watched tapes of him and highlights online and realised he was on to something. He was poetry in motion, big, strong but graceful. That goal he kicked after doing the blind spin is one of the greatest plays I’ve seen.

    To see a player that I never got to fully appreciate still feel what I do now, particularly after the struggles he has been through and we have been through as a club is a heartwarming moment. 

    Thanks for sharing and best of luck to us (and him & his family). We’ve got something real brewing here, enjoy the ride.

    Ain't nothing boring about love for the ox. My first superstar love was Jacko, even called my dog Jakovich. But he disappeared, and in my memories of being 6 or 7, with Jacko gone, this absolute gun arose in the realm of my reverence. I saw how excited my old man got, talking about what we saw him do, and his first knee was my first realisation that injury is a thing that brings heartache to player, club and supporter.

    Seeing Ox react like that after our win over WC merged the aspirations of the young, brilliant footy player long gone, with the emotions of the now supporter, bearing a love for the club strong enough to make you shout at inanimate objects that can'tshout back, and which we all share. How many times would the ox have wished he could be on the field during the dark years? That somebody would represent the jumper in a way worthy of what it means?

    And now, finally, we have all seen them do that; a whole team of them just bloody representing. And as a plus we got to see footage of the Ox, virtually standing alongside us, screaming, jumping, hyperventilating and finally cheering with glory and relief. [censored] brilliant. Ta, Mrs Ox.

    Great to see & reinforces what the club means to pass players in particular to Swarta who played in a losing GF & would certainly tear up  when we win it!

    I started supporting the Dees in 98 and even then i loved the Ox.. its only been since youtube has become popular that I've now realised what an absolute superstar he could have been hadn't it been for those injuries.

    I'll never forget the 2000 grand final when he was the only one to stand up and tear shreds of essendon players for what they did to Simmonds and Green.

    On record publicly ever since saying how much he hates them.

    I think our reaction and Hawthorn's to Essendon's bullying was instructive.  

    I say bullying because that's what it was. They weren't coming after blokes like David Neitz or Spider Everitt in those games. They went after young kids both times and it was pathetic.

    Besides Ox, most of our blokes hung Greeny and Simmo out to dry. 

    The entire Hawthorn team swamped those Johnson boy p*icks and squared up.

    Interesting to see that no one 'feared' the Essendon hit squad from that moment onwards in 2004 as their bluff had been called.

    100% agree CfB, and I reckon that this is an area we might be vulnerable. When they come after Salem, Brayshaw, Spargo - who's going to fix this up?

    I wouldn't worry about those three.  Fritsch tends to get singled out a bit, maybe the Weid.

    I think we have more that the required amount of Tuesdays not only to defend our blokes but to worry the others.

     Yep - agree. Fritsch gets the late hits after marking

    I haven't teared up at all... until now.

    So bloody good!

    Now for the important question, when can we draft his son? Will he be a good replacement for Hogan? Is he a left footer? How are his toes and feet? 

    Great questions and certainly, a key thought in the next few years. Notice the son's height relative to the Ox? Developing nicely, no doubt. What an acquisition that would be!

    Sam is the all-time worst of Australian TV - good onyer, Ox, legendary and deserved act - just like Biffen did to Newman years ago.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
