Turner Closing in on New Deal

This may seem somewhat of a harsh comment, but this neither excites nor frustrates me. 

Disco staying or going is not going to change the direction we go in.

There is a lot of up side with him, just needs game time and coaching development.

I reckon he’s a kid with talent. He just needs time. Sign him up and keep playing him.

Met him

He's a lovely young man and he is stoked at being at the club

Plays for the jumper. Need more of them.

[Mel Bourne 4,537]

Can definitely see this kid getting better and better, and he’s most welcome to do that with the Demons. 

[bluey 1,118]

I wouldn’t be opening the vault myself.

[Kent 2,918]

Yawn     wont matter if he stays or goes to me

Maybe we should link his pay to disposals might motivate him to get of the bottom of the disposal list

Completely ineffectual in my view

[Biffen 12,949]

Tina -just get a kick son.

[Superunknown 4,240]

According to something I saw from the Hun or Domainfax there was rival interest? Anyone from whom?

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,240]

I think we need to play him down back for the rest of the year and going forward. He, Lever and May should form a good three pronged defence next year (with Tomlinson likely gone and T Mac probably out of contract) and all played well in our great win over Sydney late last year.

He and Petty are not working up forward in the slightest. We need to find other options, whether that's T Mac, BBB or Melksham in a few weeks - natural forwards please.

For some reason he reminds of me of Howes.

There is a difference Turner likes the contest all the time.

Dunstall would not get a kick in our forward line and people expect him to goals without teaching him forward craft.

[DubDee 26,296]

He is still only kid as for teaching him a forward coach if we get one someone with that ability because we haven't got one now, now that's not to say moving from the backline to the forward line is going to work, but they need to gives these kids the tools to work on.

[Cranky Franky 2,200]

We are excited about someone who is 3 years on the list & played 1 decent game & 4/5 ordinary ones & not shown much.

[DeeZone 10,395]

22 year old key defender / forward, good mark and kick who doesn’t mind a bit of physicality, Disco has been hampered by injury. We need players of his ilk but needs to have a good run at it.

[D Rev 631]

The criticism on here has all the credibility of a plan that involves 7 small nuclear plants being owned by the Government, from a Government that does not want to own things.

It's a team game and not everyone is going to be a star.  This bloke could be very, very good though.

The lad has played under 12 games and shown plenty.  Loves the contest, is agile and has plenty of upside.  He will never be a target forward, but a good 3rd option - and can swing down back.

How many young players do we have that can do that and have his upside?  Not many.  I'm excited for his future with us.

North are into him

[DistrACTION Jackson 10,180]

Has been showing some good signs and the FD obviously rate him.

Not sure being a forward is his best position, so would love to see them move him down back especially next year if Tmac and Tommo leave.

That's what a swingman can do, I guess?! (funny old language, English, innit?)

Re the OP article, 'closing in on', as opposed to 'inks' smacks of Club (via AFL) media trawling for good news about us.

As to DT himself, goodo!

[Fritta and Turner 4,675]

I'm excited
