extremely good, but apart from a five-game winning streak mid-season the Eagles were extremely disappointing in 1954, and 1955 was no different. Ogden planned to retire from coaching the Eagles at the end of that season, and did not change his mind although the Yarraville committee attempted to re-appoint him for 1956. Ogden returned to Melbourne, and served as assistant coach to Norm Smith from 1962 until the end of the 1965 VFL season; and, also, served as coach of the Melbourne Reserves from 1963 to 1965. Recognition In 2014 he was one of the 51 former players, officials, and volunteers that were announced as the inaugural inductees into the Williamstown Football Club's Hall of Fame.
