The Orlando Turner Thread

Leopold Bloom
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Orlando Turner is a lightly built small forward who is in Melbourne’s NGA through our Alice Springs connection. 

PROFILED | The 2023 title-winning Allies squad

#20 Orlando Turner


Small Forward | 16/05/2005 | 176cm | 67kg
A National Academy member with nice upside and a bag of tricks, Turner helped ensure the Northern Territory would be aptly represented in the carnival with his two games. He was rotated after gathering six disposals in game one, but returned in game four against Vic Country and booted two goals from eight touches – the second of which both iced the game and the title.

    We should get him just to break the record for the number of turners on one AFL list - if we haven't already

    Not great footage here but in this one he takes a mark and kicks a goal around the 7.37 minute mark. Haven't watched it all thoroughly so may pop up elsewhere throughout the video as well.

    Wearing #11

    Edit: kicks another goal @8.57 and involved in a bit more play 10seconds later

    From my VC v Allies write up 

    Orlando Turner kicked the match winner , quiet all day but has burst of pace and looks like he knows where the goals are. Probably rookie pick at best. 

    overall summary 

     

    Orlando Turner is from NT under our NGA academy. Whilst he was largely quiet, in the two championship games, he showed glimpses of brilliance and goalkicking smarts to indicate he might be picked to develop as a small forward.  Rookie pick likely.

    My mates cousin is involved with us for the academy, but I don’t recognise this name. I know Kozzie was over at his house a bit when they were here.

     

    Is there a list anywhere of our NT academy kids?

    ARN seems like a natural fit. Trumps Orlando in the name-stakes. Though Riak is pretty cool.

    The Melbourne NGA covers parts of NT (Alice Springs) and it has a Victorian zone as well. Luke Morrell is from Beaconsfield, Buay Duac plays for the Dandenong Stingrays via Seaford/South Mornington.

    Pretty sure he would be the first Orlando to play AFL if he makes it.

    And if Alonzo Rockland-Nelson makes it, I’m pretty sure that he would be the first Alonzo to make it. What a strange world it is that we live in?
