Player Watch #43: Brynn Teakle

[The Nostradamus]

We've found something here. Might've just solved the resting ruck/forward problem for us, will play the rest of the season and probably beyond

yep can play and is aggressive

Perfect second ruck/tall forward for us

 

[amaz199]

got the tools.

That goal though... I thought we had it watching from the wing.

 

[RooDave]

Yep massive tick for me.

Loved his presence and attack at the footy. Looked relatively composed for his first AFL game in who knows how long. Brought good structure to the forward line and ABSOLUTELY love him going into the ruck instead of Larks who doesnt belong there to begin with.

Permanent in for Callum Coleman-Gone

Seen enough already to pay him out and free up the spot, with Tess and Pink in reserve as a poor mans swing man he is completely redundant now. Use the list spot to chase another Potential KPF.

 

[Kofi]

Cya CCJ.

Yep, definitely looks like an upgrade.

 

[bennymate]

Love him

 

[hilly]

But the Port fans told me how bad he was.

[The acurate one]

Impressive wasn't he . We couldn't have asked for more.

Actually probably surpassed our expectations if we're honest.
Would love to know how many contests he got himself involved in.

 

[Rooniversity]

He was great today, very impressed.

 

[Souup]

I really didn't get the pick at all and I'm more than happy to eat humble pie if he keeps this up.

Thought he was very good today, played his role better than you could expect.

 

[Chadwiko]

Forward structure with Larkey, Pink and Teakle was the best it has looked in years.

Persist.

I like it when good posters can admit that they where wrong not saying you where its only one game but plenty on here don't.

 

[Sticksphat]

On first impressions at the level seems better then CCJ below his knees, and between his ears.

 

[Nylex]

Teak has shown more than CCJ already, and he looks like he can ruck!!!!!!!!

Im surprised to hear that, what aspect of his game is lacking iyo?

As i said when we got him, that while his highlights looked good thats all they are. BUT.... they showed a 200cm+ guy with excellent agility, was happy to play on which many rick sized payers arent. Good hands and from limited viewing his set shot looked very good. Add to that the lead, gather and snap goal from a pocket for a guy that size. Again its a highlight but you just cant do many of those things without the raw ability.

He was better in the ruck today than i thought, that was the biggest knock i had on what id seen.

He'll only get better too imo as he adjusts to the AFL pace.

 

[Sphynx]

Pretty much everything you want from a ruck/fwd.

Biggest plus was his athleticism.

Definitely good enough movement to play as a fwd/ruck

I was thinking a bloke that can bring it to ground would suffice, well if this is the baseline its pretty fortunate he was still on the board with our msd 2nd pick.

 

[Possession]

I had hope of course but I must admit that I was low-key bracing myself for a Sellers or CCJ type performance today. Teakle me Pink.

Persist.

For sure, but Pink may be required down back next week if K. Dawson misses.

Not against the Dees. They don't have a glut of good tall options.

Comben and Corr should be okay.

[tricknologist]

I really liked what he brought to the team from a structural perspective. Poor CCJ tho. If Brynn keeps it up, he'll do the poor prick out of a job.

 

[R00StaR]

Didn't have high hopes since the better judges on here told me he had little to offer. But seems to be a bit to work with there.

yeah i dont get it, at the very least the attributes to become an AFL footballer are there.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Was only one game, but looks like I’ll be eating humble pie with this one.

Showed far more physicality than he did with Port. Genuine marking threat.

Unlike a lot of talls who don't make it, he can take a contested mark, he looks co-ordinated and has a fluent kicking style. It's surprising that he wasn't persisted with, or even drafted as an 18 year old.
