Sounds like a backup for Lever.

Love your work dazzle. Always appreciated.

He'll certainly make a strong contribution for Casey. Will take him a few weeks to adjust to the tempo but he's a proven hard worker and quick learner as well.

Really stoked for him.

    Turner family, welcome to the Dees.

    No doubt you will eventually read Demonland. Please excuse us for being a mouthy and critical lot. We mean well even if it doesn't seem that way.

    I can only imagine your pride at having a son drafted to an AFL club. Soak it up, enjoy the moment and encourage your boy to embrace the "team first" ethic that has put us on top of the ladder.

     

    Go Dees.

    If that music is the soundtrack to his game, then the opposition are in deep [censored].

    All jokes aside, he looks like he has the Jeremy mcgovern chesty build

    And/or someone to develop into and replace Hibbard when he finally hangs up the boots.  Not wishing retirement on Hibbo anytime soon, but it's got to be a possibility sometime in the next 1 - 3 years.

    Was killing it for Albury

    If you ever want to get 'killed' in Albury there is a pizza shop in Dean St, if you go at 1.00am you are assured of a punch in the face and you get your name in the local paper.  Apparently they are queued up out the front....

    Looking at the very small video sample, he does not look anywhere near Hibbos maneuverability. He looks very much a large body defender.

    Still think if we are looking to a replacement for Hibbo, we should throw next years first round at Colonwood for Maynard. He can take the medium and bigs. Did not see the agility in the Turner video to do that. He is a big unit.

    192cm 79kg.  But I saw him before lockdown and he's much heavier than that

    Most of us put weight on due to lockdown.

    Key defender at 192cm & 79kg’s is a stretch.

    Maybe he becomes a third tall in the Tomlinson mould, albeit 2cm shorter

    Or half back flanker, Tomlinson and Petty aren’t going anywhere soon.!!

    Scroll back to the start of this thread and read the first post which details both Turner's height and how tall he is. 

    I see three lines and none of the links worked for me.  So in those three lines can you point out where it states his age, height, weight and how old he is?

    Would you believe, in a first,  I got more info off the MFC site, than here.  And what is curious the links worked....

    Hes absolutely nothing like Hibberd. 

    Hes more Jeremy McGovern/Tom Barrass.

    Sounds like some promising bits of business by the club.

    Awesome news, welcome to the club Kye and Daniel.

    I was thinking the same thing with Daniel dead ringer to Mcgoverns build.

    I'm sure he will slim down when he gets in to the system, he seems to be able to read the play and gets where the ball is.

    He'll need to be to come into a new zonal defence and learn how we want to play. I've thought this is the toughest thing about bringing in someone mid season. How do they adjust to the system the team is playing? Will be fascinating to see how he goes at Casey.

    Thanks as always for the insights mate.

    Gee, he even moves a bit like Lever from that footage.

    No way Maynard is worth a first. A second should get it done if there's genuine interest.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
