1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Quest.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: We're looking for your nominations. What should be on our

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: Footy Wall of Fame. It's going to be painted next week.

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: It's skin look amazing. Emma thinks some oz kick medals

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: belong on the Footy Wall of Fame mural. Christian oz

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Kick is often the first taste of organized footy many

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: youngsters have who go on to become the next stars.

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: It's where they grow and develop their passion for the sport.

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Oz Kick coaches begin these skilled development process and in

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: part the enjoyment of the game, whether a player that

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: goes on to be a premiership player or the peak

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: was scoring seven goals with the under twelves. Now never

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: forget that they learned their first love of the game

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: Adams kick. Emma, this is a great idea. And you

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: right all the colorful medals. Did you do oz kick?

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? When I started, he was called vic kick, which

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: had a better ring to it.

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: But then I guess they want to expand to the

20
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: rest of us, try and make it natural thing. Yes, bye,

21
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: it was a great program.

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: And so did you used to have it when you

23
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: were at school? Pats he was like a more the

24
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: newer thing when it became an pay football when I

25
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: was at school, shocking, yeah.

26
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: Or cricket.

27
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Now there's Milo cricket and nos kickett and the soccer.

28
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic. Yeah.

29
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: The medals going up and one of the halls or

30
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: on the Wall of Fame would look fantastic up there.

31
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: All right, there's some more legends that we keep hearing

32
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: about and that we need more details on. So, like

33
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: I was saying, with this forty Wall of Fame, it's

34
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: kind of the people that we don't know about. Yesterday

35
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: we started to hear about a guy called Goosey. Jack

36
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: told us one of his friends spoke of this legend.

37
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: Hey, Christian Jack and team. I can one hundred percent

38
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: confirm that the Simon Goosey is an absolute legend, especially

39
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 3: of local footy. The most goals he's kicked in the

40
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: game was twenty goals and two behind and that's just

41
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: in one game. He coached Mornington to four premierships in

42
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: a row. I believe he kicked close to two thousand

43
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: goals in only two hundred and forty three games, and

44
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: that's enormous. He played in the EJ Witting Legends game

45
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: a couple of times and Simon or Goose as everyone

46
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: knows you as if you're listening, you're an absolute legend,

47
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: and I reckon you belong on the footy wall.

48
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: I really want to speak to Simon aka the Goose?

49
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: Are you him? Do you know the Goose? You'll know

50
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: the Goose everyone. It feels that everyone needs to know

51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: about the Goose nine four one four one oh four three.

52
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Someone else I'm desperate to find out about is this

53
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: guy Doug Ensaw.

54
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: Hi Christian, My name's Robin.

55
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 3: I know a footballer that played the Noble Park Juniors

Speaker 3: under four He kicked sixty goals.

57
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: And eighty hinds in one game.

58
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: His name is Doug Insour and he really needs to

59
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: go on the Football.

60
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,160

Speaker 1: sixty goals.

64
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: This is astonishing. It doesn't feel like there's even enough

65
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: time in any game.

66
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: Regardless of how a bout this is.

Speaker 1: one sixty when that age is amazing, What a sensation nine.

69
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: Four one four one oh four three.

70
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,799

Speaker 1: or doug Ensaw and his legendary brace of sixty goals,

72
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,919

00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm good? Tell us about your dad, Russell.

77
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, my father, Royce Dixon, was a young seventeen

78
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: year old that was recruited from Redcliff to play for

79
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: Geelong and on the Thursday before he was to play

80
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: in the seniors for Geelong, he lost his arm in

81
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: an accident and went on then to play football with

82
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: one arm to the point in when he was I

83
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: think about twenty one he won the Best in Fairest

84
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: in the Horseshopan District Football League with one arm.

85
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Story.

86
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: So, first of all, so he's drafted at what did

87
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: you say, seventeen years of age, you go and play

88
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: for john and that would have been Geelong FC.

89
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: Then yes, Geelong Football Club, yes, and.

90
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: So and then he loses, he loses, he's in accident

91
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: a couple of days before his debut.

92
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he was a wool class and Geelong got

93
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: him a job in a wool factory if you like.

94
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: It's part of that course. And had had an accident

95
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: with a loom and lost his left arm and his

96
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: neck and then he was left handed, of course, and

97
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: left footed, so then had to go out and develop

98
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: his right side. And as he always said, the only

99
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: thing that he was always lacking was his handball skills

100
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: were very poor.

101
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean a true use the word legend. What incredible

102
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: character from from your dad. And he was obviously quite

103
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: a sporting legends. Well did he go on to play golf?

104
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he played off about fifteen, which is a pretty.

105
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: Good hand, pretty good, and had a hole one.

106
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 4: At the Shepherd and Golf course. You're kidding, And was

107
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: an eight pen tennis player, Christian, And.

108
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: Where do you play on the footy field?

109
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: He was a ruckman, so so he said that the

110
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: rovers made him look good because he tapped the ball

111
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 4: to them most of the time. So it made him

112
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: the true, the true tap ruckman if you like, of

113
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: the old day.

114
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he must have invented that moon.

115
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: I would say he had no other choice.

116
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Oh, listen, your dad has to go out there. It's

117
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: an amazing. Is this an inspirational story?

118
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: Your dad? It is?

119
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: You know, he played a lot of country football for

120
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 4: a lot of teams because he was a young teacher,

121
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: and they would move them around, of course, as you know,

122
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: and so I suppose when he turned up for his

123
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: first night of training there might have been a few

124
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: eyebrows raised, but he soon proved that he was quite

125
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 4: a capable sportsman. And yeah, was was really a true

126
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 4: legend if you like.

127
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't they make them tough back then? I remember,

128
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm a DS fan.

129
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: About two years ago one of our players was out

130
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: for a couple of rounds with his thumbre they can

131
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: end there was Dad loses an arm and still carries on. Wait, guys,

132
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: become a ruckman and he's playing of about thirteen as

133
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: a handicapping golf is nothing short of amazing. He's got

134
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: to go on the wall. How do you see the

135
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: image looking then? As we paint and try and immortalize

136
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,280

Speaker 2: You think? What would look great up there?

141
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: Oh there's a photo of him I think just bending

142
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 4: down to pick up the ball one handed, like the

143
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 4: old scoop that they used to do in the old

144
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: days and the putty cards. So in his geelong football
