Taken in the 2021 midseason draft, the young improving defender signed a two-year contract extension in July. He was recently upgraded to the senior list for 2024 and is expected to advance further now that he has experienced a taste of football at its highest level.

    I think we missed a trick not playing Disco Turner earlier in the season in 2023. I hope he is given the opportunity to start the year in the AFL in 2024. I think he has all the ingredients to be a very good player.

    Looking forward to seeing Disco Turner earn some regular game time in 2024 been loving the feedback from the regular Casey watchers. Daniel is a good size and possibly could hold down the critical Michael Hibberd role but not sure about his explosiveness.

    An astute addition to the senior list. Shown plenty of ability at VFL level, the challenge of course is to produce at AFL level. Some extended opportunity there will indubitably assist that transition.

    You'd imagine Tomlinson and Turner (both 194 cm) will be competing with each other for that third tall defender spot behind May and Lever. Can't see our weekly backline containing all four players.

    Arguably stiff to be dropped for the Pies final after a very encouraging round 24 game in which the stakes were high for Sydney.

    Likely more like 92/94kg now. Coachs' think highly of him.

    Talls take longer to develop. In the past when our list was not so strong talls would be rushed in before time.

    Now we let them develop via Casey which is good. JVR is an AFL exception for talls. They do not usually show what he has in his 2nd season. It was just as well we resisted the temptation to play his early.

    Agree B-B-P that was Disco’s best performance at senior level. Got the attention of some of the Ch7 commentators too.

    Couldn't agree more. 

    Really hope he gets a clear run at it next year.

    Simliar situation for him as JVR early this year. Probably should have got a game for the finals, dropped after a good game against Sydney, so should be in the frame for round one. and its Sydney up there again. He looks ready to go.

    Poor guy hasn’t had any consistent opportunities - injured in his debut, mismatched in his second game and dropped after a pretty good performance in his third.  
    I really hope he is given some consecutive games early in 2024.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
