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.

Who?  can someone post some details as I don't have a tweetery account....like height, weight and how tall..

192cm, 79kg and ummm, 192cm

Yeah, but how tall is his height??

 

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.

And hair apparently, although that hasn't happened to me.

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
