Well done mate

My guess is we will win for Whitey this weekend (yes its a big call)

[Jarka 767]

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

[beelzebub 23,368]

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

[AzzKikA 2,371]

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

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

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.

[QueenC 74]

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

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 !!!

[Rampaging Demons 1]

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.

[Gouga 569]

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.

[deeangel 2]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 37,035]

Well Done Whitey. Hope you have a few more left in ya

[Real Demon 232]

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.

[Pates 9,660]

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!

[deeboy 40]

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!

[AzzKikA 2,371]

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

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,817]

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.

[jacey 333]

I'll lay off for the week but ur wrong deeboy.

Congrats Whitey for 250 and ur career.

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