Player Watch #10: Daniel 'Disco' Turner – disco here, ball go there - in until 2026

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Another for the ADP scouting report.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Turner is at least top 5. I think Newcombe and Durham are better right now and Peatling and Sharman probably are in the same tier but Turner could become the most valuable and best if he pans out as a key back moving forward.

Wow, I didn't realise some of these were MSD, there are some actual real footballers on that lists. Surprising.

 

[SugarHealey]

This guy is a serious player. I'd guess he had 5 intercept marks today. JT drafted a good tall!

Ranked as the #1 defender last 5 weeks. Been huge down back.

I'd like to see us add another two years onto his already renewed 2026 contract.

Sign him now... til 2028.

 

[SugarHealey]

Can float forward and be interchangeable with Petty which gives us matchup options. Can play Lever's role as well if needed. Only 23 and yet to hit prime.

23Yrs age. And only 25 AFL games.

Sign him up... 2028.! extend and enhance.

I need to comment in this thread to stay subscribed to the disco love because i haven't posted in here yet. That is all

Pardon the intrusion, I come here in peace Headless , Turner seems like a really good player.

Great. Even the Melbourne supporters are giving us pity praise.

We will turn it around don't worry Legs, too much class in this side. Chin up and good luck to us next week

Not far away from Goody playing him forward with the other talls doing **** all.

 

[Demon Attack]

I'll lose it when that happens. Bloke is a gun defender, reckon he had another 4 intercept clunks yesterday.

 

[stEdy]

He's better than Lever now

 

[booshboy]

He's better than Lever now

Easily. Lever sucks.

 

[Young Redleg]

He's better than Lever now

100% Quicker, more agile, better kick and much stronger one on one.

I don't really know why Lever is in the side right now.

Lever is in on name and reputation only.

Goody would be hoping his form turns around before anyone in the media catches on and starts questioning it.

 

[Topkent]

For the money and picks paid lever should be one of the best intercept players in the comp, he just isn't. Gas been for what one season?

Probably being harsh but his career is following a similar trajectory to Salem. A good year or two and a whole lot of meh.

I don't think it is. He just isn't in the best couple players on the ground often. Even may last year was epic in a few games. Lever just isn't. We paid alot for him and outside the flag year he hasn't really delivered

Pretty sad he isn't even best 22 now when we have Turner to intercept and can field two of May, TMac and Petty as KPDs.

But will continue to be picked unless injured.

[schmuttt]

Along with Bowey and Langford/Lindsay probably the biggest shining light for us this year.

 

[Daemon]

I'll put my hand up and say I thought this guy was a bit of a spud. I was wrong. He is a really good defender (please don't move him forward again Goody).

Did you think he was a full spud though? I was definitely in the he's shit as a forward camp but I was always keen to see him go back.

Yeah full spud, I didn't see it.

When Daniel Turner's family lost it all, Melbourne's leaders rushed to their side
