Player Watch #43: Brynn Teakle

[The Nostradamus]

Announce his ‘club’ debut for the weekend pls and thanks

He looks very mobile for his size. His lack of establishing an ongoing AFL career to date is moot. Hope we play around with his roles and see what sticks.

Most 203cm state rucks move like Lurch. This guy looks really agile but still strong. Some of his marking highlights were a bit Combenesque.

At ruck knocks Teakle is often the one who ends up chasing down the ball and kicking forward because the East Fremantle mids are heavily tagged/scragged

He's mobile, fast and a good kick

 

[Event Horizon]

We have almost nothing to lose. The only potential negative of course, is the fact he's on 18 months deal (along with Payne) which means we've just added two extra blokes onto the list who will at least stay on next season, which means we have two extra blokes to delist at the end of this season (in addition to trimming our rookie list numbers back in line with other clubs IIRC)

But it's not like our list is in great shape and we are struggling to find who to cut.

I know I am stating the obvious, but due to a bunch of previous list management fukk ups we have an extremelely unbalanced list. To think that a season ending injury to one player (CCJ who was hardly a gun mind you) has pretty much rendered our tall forward and ruck stocks nearly unplayable is an indictment on our club. But it's a fact non the less.

Therefore we absolutely had to pick someone who can plug that hole for half a season at least. Were there any better options to pick in this draft, in terms of ready made players? I have no idea, but I doubt it, given the nature of the MSD

Worst case he's a ruck who actually competes in the VFL and gives blokes like WillPhil the chance to shine in the seconds. No brainer for mine.

I remember that was my expectations of soup campbell until he was required to step up to the ones.

from the outside looking in. no point recruiting a mature player, if not going to play. would like to see it….
not sure of his fitness levels however.
we need to be straightened up with a marking target. brings cz etc into the game.

Combenesque, whose marking highlights are said to be Careyesque. There were have it, folks, confirmed that Teakle is the next Carey.

Straight into the team please. Saves Larkey being triple teamed and their third tall might have to go to Zuhaar too.

Anyone who is writing off BT (that's what me and my 67 mates call him), will end up with an egg on their face.
Let me tell you a story: I grew up near the Thunderdome and I was good mates with Bob Jane T Marts. We were best mates at eachother's weddings. But his career was at the crossroads in the late '80's until one day I had a puncture on my road bike - A Malvern Star Skidstar that I'd won matching up the Paddle Pop sticks. This was all before the internet was invented by Bill Gates, so I wrote Bobby a letter explaining my predicament. He then rang me, pleading with me to take the bike over to his joint, where thankfully he had a roll of dove tape. We proceeded to use that tape to strap the puncture and I then proceeded to do a PB (Personal Best) for the Strava segment "Hello There Honey Child" and the rest I guess, is history.

“Matching up the paddle pop sticks” is gold!!!

In hindsight Campbell was someone we should have held on to. Not to play in our next premiership but to play a role in building and supporting the blokes who will.

Logging into strava without the internet is interesting as well. 2 tins and some string whilst smashing out a KOM.

 

[RHLK]

Teakle (cheap) shot >>>> Rory Freakin' Lobb.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

He’s probably got a better chance of being an effective second tall forward/ruck relief than Toby Pink has. And for now that’s enough.

 

[WesternRoo]

I’d play him.

Home state, something to prove, has done an AFL preseason and his state league form is better than any of our talls in the VFL.

If he goes ok in the ruck, we can play Xerri forward a bit more.

Pink is the other option, it’s a no brainer.

If he's no good you can always call him Bynn Treakle.

I dunno… its just his loaf of bread. Full Pre season with collingwood, he wont be underdone and gee whiz, love for him to be able to meet a minimum senior requirement. But its just that ****ing head.. cant do it.. shave them sideburns

 

[LB2Snake]

West Coast pick Hitchinson straight up from MSD. Would’ve liked to see BT straight in.
