We don't need another small backman, particularly one with average disposal.

I agree. Still think he would be a better defender than forward.
Also think we should trade or delist him and let someone else test this theory.

Turner is a hard at it footballer and that's great and all... but he doesn't have the flare that a player like Zurhaar has. Which brings me to my next point...
Turner's ability comes to a halt when we are on the counter, and when we need him to hit the target with perfect accuracy and timing. Whenever he gets the ball on the break, he can sometimes either rush himself or take too long.
He can crumb, but his disposal is woeful making his crumbing useless. He should've nailed that snap in the first or gave it off.
This guy was drafted as an inside mid so I'm not surprised his disposal is a bit off and he likes the rough stuff. Maybe give him another crack in the midfield during the preseason. Improving his disposal should be the main focus as well as being a bit more proactive.

That's it exactly. He has to earn a spot on its merits, in our current team he simply does not displace any defender IMO. That's not a knock on him, he may be capable of being a very good one, the question is whether that occurs in our AFL, VFL teams or an opponents.
20 goals in his last 42 games. At an average of 0.47 per game.
The fact is he is a very poor small forward and he is ultimately a very limited footballer.
If we are to move forward and progress, other players will have to take his spot in the side.

How old is he, 21? Has years before he moves into his prime. He's a good player, and it would be mad to give his spot in the team to someone else.

He's 23. 24 by years end. He has had plenty of opportunity and shown little. Not mad to give his spot to a better player, which we should do in Papley.

Has played 78 games, never averaged more than 12 touches a game in any of his six seasons.
I love his attitude but the output just isn't enough.

I rate him highly out of defence
Can lock down on forwards and has speed coming out

Doesn't do enough.
Look at Cameron. Dangerous small forwards can win you games.

Should get pushed out next season by our up an coming forwards - never to be seen in our forward line again
Either play him in the backline or as a tagger - supposedly he can run all day
Tagging role raised my eyebrows.. he’s like a pit bull.. why not?

Don't get me wrong, he could be a better defender than forward. But in his one proper game down back he had 4 kicked on him by GAJ, who couldn't get a sniff when closely watched by JMac. Begs the question, how high do you rate JMac out of defence now?

Incorrect. Watch the 2nd geelong game again. JMac blanketed GAJ in the first half so he had to chase kicks up on the wing. Atley may have marked him later, but JMac gave GAJ a bath.

I doubt he's going anywhere, his numbers this year is an improvement from last year's, other than his disposal, there's really not much wrong with his game. You need hard blue collar players like him in your team. I doubt he's on big money contract anyway so worst case he's a decent backup for injuries.
Other than Thomas (who'll be a permanent mid eventually), we don't have a small forward to fill the role. So unless we somehow draft a Rioli this year, I don't see him get traded before his contract ends.

He is just a "eh" player
I wouldn't be gutted if used in a trade or is utilised in the VFL
