    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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
