2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

Featured Replies

“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.

 

I love a story about someone who has had work hard with their AFL journey and succeed. Disco is a gem!

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.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
