How Dee bounced back from family tragedy to find his best

Daniel Turner has starred in the Demons' defence this year, just months after tragedy struck his family

A young man that speaks very highly of his club.

There was a video over the pre season where he stated that he'd like to be a leader of the club down the track, and is already trying to act like a leader, so if his football continues to develop could he be a left field contender to be skipper post Gawn??

 

What will the haters say now? A young gun speaking glowingly of our club does not fit their narrative that we are in shambles and our culture is trash.

Never mind that all our young players say exactly the same thing.

Great article. My favourite quote Re his preference for playing forward or back:

"I love playing both positions, so as long as we're winning games I honestly don't mind where I play," Turner said.

Top attitude, which I really hope is shared by all our players


Gun defender and the long term Lever replacement as our key intercepting defender.

Great story and love his positive attitude towards life and the club.

They always have a preference.

I think there's a difference between the culture of the football team and the culture of the wider club. Our admin has been highly suspect, hence Roffey and Pert going.

Remember when Gawn kicked across the goals late in a game and missed the target? May went to ‘critique’ Max’s effort but was stopped by Turner. He’s a gun. Future/current leader.

Just to note … in reference to “ our terrible club culture”

“Demons list manager Tim Lamb, head of football Alan Richardson and interim chief executive officer David Chippindall all put their holiday plans on hold and made the three-and-a-half-hour trip up over the border to Albury”

Me seeing DISCO and TRAGEDY in the same sentence

But in all seriousness, crappy situation but a good read., Glad the club went above and beyond for him as well. Glad Disco is pumping

… especially since it was his grandmother who gave him the nickname 😂

What is the difference, exactly?

Roffey went because she handled an interview poorly at a critical time. Pert went after quite a few successful years as CEO, but where the team was performing poorly. But what is the difference in culture? I can't see it!

I said something similar recently and it wasn’t received well at all (by the sadsacks, that is).

Not only do our young players say the same thing but (arguably more importantly) so do their parents. For mine this is the most important endorsement, especially with the interstate boys’ parents.

It certainly outweighs anything spoken by those outside the loop looking in. Thanks Ollie and GW.👍💕

You're kidding right? Roffey went because of one interview?

The less said about Pert's off field reign, the better.

Plus we re/sign arguably one of the best young players for 9 years ..says something about our club

Don't know why there's an argument about culture over one players one interview.

Yes, couldn't be happier to have Turner on board and was very nice of Lamb and Richardson.

There's 40ish players and more than 2 staff so forming conclusions off this is a bit of a reach.

If Adams and Howes come in next year as best 22 and May and Lever are still here I wonder if there's room for everyone and if so who plays forward.

Gawn aside, I reckon he is our best contested mark, and he is the stand alone best kick in our team. For sheer steadiness and consistency he is a beacon of hope for me. The fact he loves the club is also a huge tick.

I have a lasting memory of the siren going in the 2021 GF, and he ran onto the field to celebrate with arms and legs flailing like a wounded baby emu. I wondered - who the hell is that? How can he be on our list?

Living proof that after 30 years of abomination, the MFC can seriously develop young players.

There’s no argument about culture here.

It’s simply yet another example (on a long list of examples) that illustrates, despite what the media and opposition clubs want people to believe, we don’t have a toxic culture at our club.

Define successful under Perts tenure as a CEO.

I'll eagerly wait for the response on this.

Great to hear the family is getting back on their feet.

Seems like a great lad, couldn't be happier with his form.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
