Well done mate

    250 games is a wonderful effort, it's just a pity that this season has been so shiite that most of the enthusiasm for th eclub has evaporated.

    Well done Whitey

    Well all things aside, it is a marvellous achievement for any player. In that light kudos where warranted. Congratulations Jeff.

    Shouldn't we keep him for 2 more years so he can get his 300th also? Wouldn't be worth much in trade. I'm joking, don't turn this into a who should/shouldn't we trade topic

    Would a club have had more 200, 250, 300 games in the 1 year where they lose them all?

    I believe that is what will happen to us this year.

    I think we have lost a few 150th's along the way as well :rolleyes: !!!

    Anyway congratulations to Jeff on what is a magnificent achievement.

    His contribution to our team over so many years is greatly appreciated and I hope that he can celebrate with some style.......

    But I am not holding my breath ;) :D !!!

    Congratulations on 250 games!

    The creation of the second centre circle ruined the athletic advantage!!

    Hope for a big one - the running, the beautiful kicking, geting into dangerous positions, etc!!!

    Congratulations to a consistent performer who has carried the team's ruck duties mainly on his own for years, and has done so professionally and admirably (and through significant injury).

    Big two weeks coming up, with Whitey's 250th and Neita the following week.

    Of course we care about White's 250th!

    Congratulations Jeff :)

    He cops it pretty badly on this site, even in his own milestone-game thread <_< , but he has and continues to be one of my all-time favourite players.

    How unfortunate for so many milestone games to have fallen in such a shocking year.

    If we can't win for Neitz.. I will get down onto the ground and spank every player out there.

    Is Jeff White an outside chance for All-Australian this year?

    It hasn't been a good year for ruckman and there is always two picked.

  • Quote

    Jeff has always been one of my favourite MFC players. He has carried our ruck division for many years as well as battling his painful shin problem and the horrific facial injury of 2005. The winning goal against the Bulldogs in 2005 to get us into the finals- a great memory!

    Despite our 'season from hell' he is still second on hitouts and I think ranks number one for ruckman in Champion Data stats

    Congratulations Jeff! I'll be there to cheer you on this weekend.

    What a great achievement!

    Well done Jeff, you have been a star for the MFC over the years, and long may that continue.....hopefully to 300 games!

    Have a great game, and great night!

    Spot on Jaded, has done it tough without support, Deserves congrats on his 250th.

    He's been the best rade i've ever seen in my time at Melbourne, and has been probably the most consistant player in the last decade. Always a top ruckman despite the new rules effectively screwing him.

    Congrats, and hopefully you can sink the bullys like you did in 05!

    Well done Jeff!

    Has been very unfairly criticised over the last couple of years. While the new ruck circle has curtailed his ability to win the centre hitouts, he has adapted as well as possible and has maintained his good form around the ground. He has had the second most hitouts in the competition this year and gets as many possessions as any other ruckman in the competition. He is still the most important player in our team and will probably be a player who will only truly get the credit he deserves after he retires... has been the best ruckman of the last decade!

    Good to see so many people admire him for the hard work he has done, and mainly on his own.

    Congratulations to Jeff.

    Lets hope the players show a bit more respect to this achievement than they did for Robbo's 200th against the Roos in round 16.

    Most of us were understably very doubtful, but they did it for Whitey!

    I'm thrilled. Shocked, but thrilled.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
