Jeff whites early career was fantastic,  taking pack marks around the ground.  But 2nd half of career was less.

Jimma,  by virtue of consistency across his fantastic footy career.

Stynes was truly one of Melbourne’s best ever.

White was a great ruckman until they changed the rules.

Jimmy was Jimmy. No contest.

Stynes for me. White to repechage.

Jimmy was a great player and the reason I started going for Melbourne.

Absolutely idolised the man.

With that said, Jeff White is a massively underrated player in the AFL for the past 20 years.  He's very much overshadowed by the emergence of Cox and Sandilands toward the end of his career, and now with Gawn and Grundy, he doesn't really rate a mention by most.  He was a gun.

 

Stynes... but I did have to think about it.

Jeff White was certainly a high jumping ruckman with great agility sometimes punching the ball forward at will also his tapouts to the Mids was   of quality.   He could take a great mark and knew how to kick an important goal as he did against the Bulldogs at the G.     Played with a  shin injury which he carried for a number of years in games. He was our Premier ruckman for 11 seasons You can go on and on. Yes he was underrated in IMO as well.  

Jimmy Stynes the great man .....I saw that Brownlow  comiing.....seasons before when he started playing some consistent footy as he started to revolutionize the Rucking position..............

Jeff white was a Great Ruckman  for our club.   However Jimmy was   Great in many ways on and off the ground.

I don't need to elaborate.    Jimmy for me.
