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.

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
