Turner stands at 193cm, in 2022, he played 14 games for Old Haileybury in Premier B and twice he lined up alongisde fellow VAFA gun, Brodie McLaughlin (now Gold Coast Sun) for Frankston in the VFL.
“Having never been exposed to the elite junior talent pathway, we have been impressed with how Kye has not only adapted to but thrived in our environment,” said Dees list manager Tim Lamb.

The VAFA congratulates Kye Turner on earning a spot on the Melbourne Demons list, and looks forward to watching him flourish in 2023.
