Welcome Gibson

# 25 Richmond - Gibson Turner (NT – small midfielder)

Small fwd from NT who was invited to DC and I thought was a genuine shot at a slot on GWS list. Is a terrific type and reminds very much of a young Leon Davis. Terrific pace and agility and very good 1:1 and even better when the ball hits the ground. Another who I would have as a mid range pick in the draft. Real favourite of mine.

Very good selection IMHO.

I like the way they selected Maric as a small fwd (a talented player who in the past thought he was all that it has to be said) and then select another small fwd so they'll be competing against each other as well as King and Nahas who are best 22 at this stage.

List management structures coming along well under Dimma

Francis Jackson on Turner:

"Gibson is an indigenous boy from Alice Springs, who we've been tracking for a while. He played with NT Thunder in the national under-18 carnival and he's been at boarding school in Adelaide for two years. He's a small forward with terrific movement, great leg-speed, and he's a natural goalkicker. He's goal really good goal-sense. We're confident he'll fit into our program."

I would like to commend the RFC for giving Troy Taylor another chance at AFL football
