Bit of an unfortunate story to come out especially this time of the year, but Daniel Tuners folks, Tracey and Rodney 'Rocket' Turner alongside brother Joel sadly lost their home to a house fire in South Albury.

Whilst it's unfortunate they have completely lost everything, they did make it out alive with Rod still in hospital for severe burns to his body.

Joel's partner has set up a Gofundme page to help the family financially and a few Melbourne boys have jumped on and donated a bit.

I personally know his folks really well as they're fairly active in the community here in Albury and you couldn't find two absolute gems in Rocket and Tracey plus his brother Joel is just a legend of a fella.

A few of us local footballers and businesses have already banded together and will help with the cleaning up and donating whatever we can during this tough time for the Turner family.

Link below. Any small donation will go a long way.

Horrible news.

More than happy to pitch in. If there's anything else that we might be able to help with in any way let us know.

Thank you for posting this, wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. Last night I posted the link in the DA general WhatsApp and quite a few have donated ❤️💙

Almost $41,000 of the target ($70,000) has been raised. Hopefully they reach the target, and hoping Disco’s Dad is on the improve 🤞🏽 


I've just donated. Come on Demonlanders let's help. What a terrible thing to happen especially at this time of year.

It’s heartwarming to see how many of our players and coaches and admin. staff and fans have donated. Even $5 is a worthy contribution. As they say, it all adds up. 

Thanks for the heads up, don't know them but can't imagine what a terrible time they are having at the moment.  Go Fund Me is the most terrific system.  41k+ raised in a day!

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
