Stats
Bio
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland on Boxing Day, Alex Ogilvy was a rare international-born recruit who graduated from the Melbourne Juniors to the senior ranks in 1921. He made an immediate impression upon his debut in Round 6 against Richmond, where he was named among the Redlegs' best players for his handling of the heavy, muddy conditions during a narrow three-point loss. Despite this promising start highlighting his capability in the contest and adverse weather, Ogilvy struggled to secure a permanent place in the lineup. His VFL career was ultimately brief, comprising just four games in a single season before he departed the top level.
