lol. of course he is still playing well. He was only cut because of our youth policy. He would still embarrass the likes of jamar, spencer and paul johnson if he came back now.

    Now that Stef Martin wears the #34 guernsey, at times I'd swear it was White running around out there...

    The way in which White finished his career, the only person he would embarrass would be himself.

    Absolute nonsence! The game at AFL level had well and truely passed Jeff by when he received a tap on the shoulder at Melbourne. He played a good part of his last season at Sandringham, and was no more than a solid contributor at VFL level. If he still had it in him, he would have been drafted by another club!!

    Totally agree, if he was up to it there would have been 15 other clubs queing up for him at the end of last year. how many tried to draft him again?

    Wish him all the best also. While it was well and truely time to go at the end of last year I would have liked to see him play out the year in Melbourne's team at FF. Robbo was injued and thought he could have done some nice work down there. Hopefully Meesen and Spencer will develop into a solid combination in the coming years.

    :lol: Too true.

    All the best to him though, was a great servant to the club for many years, but his time was up...

    Thought he was going to dedicate himself to playing golf when he retired from the AFL

    His brother plays at Redlands. He is playing / working at a course down the coast whilst having a kick with his bro on the weekends.

    Good on him I say.

    One aspect of White's game that I still miss was the fact that he was usually a reliable go-to marking option for our kick outs down the guts when we needed an outlet. Of our current ruck stock I don't see any that have put their hand up for that role. Hopefully things will change as apects of our game plan grow and our rucks grow in confidence and ability.

    Jeff never tore apart a game of footy and didn't last year either. Fact was Bails was ready to move him on and that meant making way for inferior talent to develop. His speech at Olympic Park post last years round 22 game showed he has admirable character. Would have been a good example for you, but you probably weren't there?

    How we forget?

    Jeff demolished a number of opposition rucks and had substantial impacts on games rucking singlehanded in 2004 when he was AA. He was brilliant that year up to Rd 18 or so when the season took its toll on him. He was also pivotal in 2000 and 2002 when we made serious pushes up the ladder.

    However, the laws changed, the game evolved and overtime White's performances diminished. He really struggled in his final year and it was no surprised he was eventually replaced by those expected to continue in MFC colours for 2009.

    The Club gave him a fair send off for long service (11 years). In the last four years there was an unreasonable reliance by ND on him to be our No 1 ruck. He faltered during that period and MFC are still trying to address the rucking issue.

    Good luck to him. Nice bloke and good golfer apparently

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
