2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

Featured Replies

Posted

“Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

I’d appreciate if we could address him as “future captain disco turner” from now on.

 

Love him. I remember when we drafted him. I was amazed how we found a player with so much untapped upside. Apparently works his backside off and deserves the plaudits.

Still my pick for future captain.


The fact that he was given the #10 guernsey so soon after Gussy was forced to retire speaks volumes about how he’s regarded at the club. And he’s a worthy recipient of it.

Disco takes his footy seriously. At every single training session he trains like he’s trying to get back into the side. He’s been like this since the beginning. Disco is a coach’s dream and this I know for sure since our former coach told me.

He’s a lovely kid who is generally pretty serious and listening to him talk about how much he loves footy and his teammates is heartwarming to say the least.

The boy can take a mark, too!

In case anyone is wondering, Disco was given his nickname by his grandmother. Apparently he has “two left feet” can’t dance to save his life so she starting calling him Disco. I like the cut of nan’s jib 😅

Despite having such a good year, it felt like he flew under the radar a bit in regards to attention. Perhaps people were more focused on the drop off of the older players & the emergence of the draftees?

Not entirely a bad thing.

Still, established himself as a key performer in the team and was swung forward when we needed goals in a hurry - such is the regard for him in the coaches box.

Great athlete, kick and mark. High footy IQ too. Will be pushing for AA if he keeps improving at this rate.

 

Good player, coming along nicely.

Hope he paid attention to the way Brisbane's Captain started and finished his year. HARD.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
