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

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 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.

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.

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!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
