It’s a ripper interview and he seems like a great bloke. Let’s hope his son is good enough to play AFL and becomes a Demon.

    Jeff White was a great  pick a talented Ruckman  that could play forward. Kicked a goal from 50 late in the final quarter against the Bulldogs in a night game and was a goal when it left his boot  that bought the house down. He put us in front and won us the game. A memory that l will never forget it was like a finals game.

    IMO  White was the reason Stynes retired earlier Simmonds was moved on and much later Jolley.  I loved him as a Ruckman however i thought he would have made a better key forward who can grab marks and kick goals he was needed to carry  ruck. 

    Lives in Queensland and keeps in touch with most of his team mates which is great to here and has fond memories of the 2000 grand final week and in which he played in. His young boy is 13 and and just on 6 foot and his father says that he has more tricks than he did at the same age and loves his footy . No problems with White he talks  about his time there with fondness.                     He is a   true Melbourne. boy.

    I must admit nosoupforme that Whitey was one of my favourites when he burst onto the scene in 1998 he gave us so much drive out of the centre and the 2000 qual final against the Blues is my all time favourite game of the modern era, I have watched it a dozen times over the years. No one gave us a chance and 21 points down at 3/4 time, enter Brad Green, Cam Bruce and Adem Yze and a supercharged midfield and the Blues had no chance.

    Jeff White is a quite impressive speaker and his warmth for the MFC and his former team mates is a real treat.

    One of my top games, the 2000 qual against this mob.

    I remember driving to the game with my son, and on the radio, Greg Williams, saying how much better carlton were and how esay it was going to be to beat us. He was being nasty and arroant, made me hate them even more.

    He was one of those sports people who, like Walter Lindrum, had the rules of the game changed to limit his effectiveness.

    I thought he played well in the 2006 Elim against St K, Grant Thomas last game.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
