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

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 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!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
