Bio
Recruited from East Perth in the WAFL, Dean Turner arrived in the VFL as a mature-age recruit for Fitzroy in 1984. He quickly adapted to the Victorian competition, spending three seasons with the Lions where he established himself as a reliable ball-winner. When the VFL expanded nationally in 1987, Turner seized the chance to return to his home state, signing on as an inaugural member of the West Coast Eagles squad to provide much-needed experience to the new franchise.
On the field, Turner was a versatile utility who did his best work on the wing or across the half-back line, known for his hard running and ability to link up play through the midfield. He was a consistent performer during the Eagles' formative years, featuring in the club's historic first match against Richmond and helping to set professional standards for the younger players. After hanging up the boots in 1990, Turner remained heavily involved in the game, carving out a long tenure as an assistant coach and a respected media commentator in Western Australia.
