Obviously but you were saying no one took him due to them thinking he'd be around next year.

Truth is only two clubs knew about him and the other one didn't have a pick in the rookie draft so that worked out well for us.

Wow man, you must have some amazing contacts with the other clubs recruiting staff!!! I mean knowing exactly what all the clubs DIDNT know. The point I was making was, that due to his small sample of games other teams didn't think (in my opinion) he would get rookied. Turns out they were wrong, and we made a great call.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

The printed article pre-draft that talked about us and the Dogs would have brought him to everyone's attention. But as it goes, everyone else had other picks to take before ours, which was a second rounder. Good luck to them. They can lick our Sugar Kayne and then get their arses kicked by him.

When ever I think of Turner, I always think of Joel Turner, then get that song stuck in my head. Nobodyyyyyy knowwwwwwwwwws

Turner round,
Every now and then I get a little lonely and you're never coming 'round.
Turner round,
Every now and then I get a little tired of listening to the sound of my tears ...

Just watched the second half of the * Elim Final. Again. I know I'm addicted.

Another thing that stood out was Turner's composure, smarts and effort.

As an 18 year old I was scared of talking to a pretty girl but for Turner to play like he did in front of 150,000 screaming fans (I rounded up) says a lot about the lad. He also did some really clever things instead of blazing away.

A couple of his attempted tackles/smothers/hurries were team lifting efforts.

I predict he's going to tackle and knock out the 2nd year blues in the 2nd quarter against the Crows.

 

[Phillyroo]

I'm angling to be the top poster in this thread by pure volume standards anyway...
Watching the semi from last year and Sugar's work in that first quarter is bloody unreal!!! His link up work, his pressure, his enthusiasm for the contest!!! When I get to the bit when he smothers Selduck near the end I'm concerned that I might wake up the kids with a loud SUGAR YOU BEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUTTTYYYYYY!!!

Btw he looked much bigger across the shoulders at training today then he did last year. Expect carnage to ensue wherever he may go!!!

 

[Dodecahedron]

Can we offer this kid a quiet sneaky ten year contract. Do it. Do it now.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I thank Gary Ziebell everytime this kid steps on the field.

 

[Flawed Genius]

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

That gather.

Splooge everywhere.

 

[MaddAdam]

Jesus he is good. Thing is that he's EXACTLY where we need our improvement to come from. He'd be considered an 18 - 22 player in the side and if we have 18 - 22 players like that, you go a long way in finals.

 

[Dan]

Just needs to be in the side.....don't really care what position he plays.

Saw him in middle a couple times, didn't look out of place.

 

[KillaKanga]

Watched the Semi vs Geelong again this morning and he finished with 9 tackles, more than any other player on the field.

Today had 6, more than any other player on the field.

Will he get the #11 after Firrito?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Pure footballer....can't teach what this kid has.

Wish basti, Jacobs, McMillan and a host of other had it but they don't!

I like him in #40.

 

[Back Seat Of A Taxi]

Could he be that defensive midfielder Ben (oops I mean brad) has been talking about??

 

[Jay-Z]

Thank God this kid wasn't born 1 day later!!!
