Taken in last year’s mid season draft, the talented key defender from Albury was Melbourne’s only first year AFL player but lasted less than half a game after suffering a facial injury against Collingwood. Returned to play in Casey’s premiership and is considered a prospect for the future.

"The key defender signed a two-year contract extension in July. He will remain on the rookie list for next season before he is upgraded to the senior list for 2024. The Demons’ second selection in the 2021 mid-season rookie draft, Turner made his debut in the Queen’s Birthday clash against Collingwood but was subbed out of the match with concussion and a fracture to the face." - Herald Sun

    Really like the look of this kid. First in line for a key defensive spot behind May, Lever & Petty. If we decide to use Petty as a key forward then I would expect Turner slots straight in. He may even get a round 1 spot regardless if we end up with five on the interchange next season.

    Daniel Turner was a great pickup for us and like everyone on DL I can see nothing but upside for this budding defender. He is a good size but needs to bulk up a bit 6-8 kegs, I feel that he has a bit of flair and a bit of mongrel as well, key ingredients for a good defender.!!

    That's all very possible and sound, as well. Blood 'em, particularly with skills like some of these Casey boys possess. All we have to do is enthuse Badloss.

    Been keeping a close watch on Daniel and had the opportunity to have a chat with him at the B&F. I asked if he had grown at all since arriving and he said he was now 195cm. Also asked about working with May and he was very appreciative of the help and instruction he was getting from him. He is a terrific young fellow and definitely has that determined look about him when he is out on the field. I can see him getting more chances next year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
