Player Watch #43: Brynn Teakle

[LuvtheKangas]

He showed a bit that’s for sure but gee wizz just shows you how starved we are for forward/rucks when a lot are going the early crow with him. It was x1 game. Let’s see if he can continue to produce..

I think what has many of us excited is that he showed that he can actually produce at AFL level, especially given the negativity that accompanied his drafting (in equal parts from this Board's resident whiners and salty Port posters).

We were all hoping it wouldn't just be Tyler Sellers Mk II, i.e. completely out of his depth, and it's a relief that it wasn't.

Sellers wouldn’t be the first young player to look out of his depth in his first game. Especially considering how shit we were playing. Look at Larkey in his first game. Both Sellers and Teakle may or may not make it. Too early to tell.

Two things

1. The Eagles suck
2. I LOVE THIS GUY

Perfect foil for X.
Not afraid to throw his weight around and get involved.
Can mark too.

Define making it? just want someone to be able to bring it to ground untill we get a genuine 1st banana to free up souva, may not be either of those blokes but given we wont be trading for one there is a lot to happen fefore we draft and develop one.possibly 4 sessons.

Perhaps you missed my point. Put another way, yes Sellers might be up to the level but he hasn't shown it yet. Teakle showed it in one game. Not saying he was dominant or automatic 22, but that he is worth keeping on the list and can play a (valuable) role.

Already played more good games in a North jumper after one game than CCJ has in his entire time with the club.

Again no world beater, but played his role that allowed others to play theirs.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Pleasing to see Teakle do so well on debut for us. The elephant in the room is the young ruck we took in the first round last year who touched the ball just once in the VFL. He's going to be a slow burn.

The comparison to Sellers isn't a fair one... that wasn't Teakle's first AFL game....

Pick 15 as well ...

Thursfield

Can’t wait to see what sort of rough cut gems we can unearth in the second round this year with Thursfield doing the scouting.

Its not really about comparisons of who firms us up now, but in 2 years. He buys us some time for more development and perminant 2nd ruck and key fwd options.

Alternatively he makes the gig his going forward. But at least we have a starting point.

 

[Horizons_00]

He brought great energy around the club

Massive upgrade on CCJ.

' fault, but a promising pick in the MSD is all down to Thursfield.

The Teakle pick will switch between being a Rawlings pick, or a Thursfield pick, depending on his form.

All I know is Rawling wasn't the only one making the decision when it was one of our many balls ups.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

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

With teakle, there's no need for Pink at all now. I'd rather a goal threat

 

[Only Forwards]

We were all hoping it wouldn't just be Tyler Sellers Mk II, i.e. completely out of his depth, and it's a relief that it wasn't.

It would be interesting to see Sellers get a run if a forward line where he is third tall rather than second.

I hazard a guess he would fair a bit better than his baptism of fire.

 

[speedy]

Burn? He’s 2 years off even getting warm.

I thought he was more than serviceable yesterday, doing a lot of work that we haven't had anyone else available to do this year. He may not be a star, but he definitely contributed and showed the confidence to call for a handball over the top from Larkey and kick the goal that put us momentarily back in front.

 

[swaeney]

He is a scrapper. Offers us something in the ruck and another option up forward so they aren’t triple teaming Larkey. His output is better than anything Rory Lobb

would offer us. Good MSD pick up

 

[amaz199]

I think you keep both Teakle and Pink because it disrupts the zone defence flow most teams run (incl. Melbourne this week).

Don't change a formula that is working.
