Need to check Arden st for black cats.
Seriously there is a injury to a player every week

Black cats?? more like chinamen

YESSSS!

I reckon his value in both goal-kicking and defensive pressure has been somewhat under-rated this year.

Marley-like down back today

Marley-like down back today

Has mongrel, always a solid handballer. Runs hard when needed to. Great attributes for when the ball hits the deck in the back half.

 

[ozzyoslo]

the fact the Scott is mixing it up during these type of games where winning isnt placed as an importance allows such moves to see Turner playing down back.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Would love to see Turner step up this year in a big way. Love what he brings to the table, but would really like to see him progress into a 30 goal a year forward.

You can't question his defensive abilities, but if he wants to take his game to the next level he really needs to get his hands on the footy on a more consistent basis. Not more sub 10 possession games.

Agreed but he's not that far away. Ave 1.1 goals a game last year. That's 24 for the season across 22 games. Ave 12 disposals a game as well. A small step up will see him 15 touches and 1.5 goals a game

Throughout those early losses last season, was in our top 5 best players across rounds 1-5 or so. Then got injured. Hope he gets a clear run at it this year and it could be a breakout one for him. High hopes.

It’s like a guess where the ball is competition.

A great piece of photography that highlights Kayne's playing style perfectly (although I expect to see some better impact this week)

 

[Horizons_00]

I think Turner needs to get more of the footy as he already makes good impact when he does have it

 

[Event Horizon]

He is normally very clean and hard at it. If he could get his numbers up by 20% this season, and stay fit, it would be massive.

 

[COOL-A-ROO]

As much as I enjoyed our win over the Saints, the best part for me was watching Turner remonstrate after the knee charge incident.

The term "fear" is simply not in his vocabulary. He is Junk Yard Dog MkII

Love him.

What can we expect from Kayne this year? He's a peculiar case in modern footy as his impact doesn't necessarily translate to the stats sheet. He is clearly a high IQ footy player, quick, good skills, and really, really hard at it - these qualities qualitatively should mean he has potential to be a star. Can he go into the midfield? Seems to me that a Patch Adams-type player where he gets it 15-20 times a game, 1-2 goals and more score involvements, great pressure is his ceiling?

Work, work, guts and more work. This is how he must be judged. When the opportunities bob up he will also get goals.

As for Patch, he also had genuine midfield ability. A different player to Kayne.

 

[Mav]

Thought he had a good game. His attack on the ball and the man was much better and he created a couple of goals because of it.

needs to do this week in week out.

 

[Harris 10]

Interesting that one of the coaches from the weekend judged him the 5th best player on the ground.
