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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
