Former Geelong Cats captain and Falcons talent manager Michael Turner passes away after battling pancreatic cancer.
"Mick Turner was a brilliant wingman in an era of fantastic players who starred across the middle of the ground and Cats fans remember him for his pace and ability to kick a big team-lifting goal," AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said.
"Post his playing career, he gave so much more to the game as a mentor and confidant to generations of talented young players and many of our greats who have come out of the Falcons' program all cite him as a pivotal influence on their success."
