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.

 

Ox = legend!


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.

Hopefully Cooper and Ox (and Mrs Ox) alll post on here and realise how dear they are to us!

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. 


Well done Ox

Love your passion 

When he is back on his feet can you please  have a few quiet works with Jesse about his set shot goal kicking routine

GO DEES

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
