Player Watch #43: Brynn Teakle

[Frank Thring]

CCJ might be a different player with how we play now. Just sayin

I’m not sure we can play the way we do now with CCJ in the side?

For one he gets in Larkey’s way and constantly draws his opponent to the wrong spots, secondly his marking is shithouse and thirdly he is non-existent when the ball hits the deck.

CCJ is not Northball friendly.

I guess you can’t write anyone off while they are still on a list, but this guy is going to have to pull a son of god to rise from the dead.

Ccj will struggle to get a game now that Brynn has shown what he has

 

[Only Forwards]

We have two players with achillies injuries this year. IMHO we will be lucky if one of them goes on the have a meaningful career.

CCJ may be a different player with how we are playing.
CCJ may be completely cooked from his injury.
The outcome could be anything.

Brynn continues doing what he's doing and he will be hard to move out of the side. He wouldn't be the first KPF in line to be dropped anyway.

 

[justroyal]

If Rawlings thinks the Teakle draft makes up for the CCJ **** up. He has a lot more rabbits he’s going to need to pull out of his arse this trade and draft period.

 

[Mr north man]

no reason for CCJ to ever play for north again.

Next year the following will all be ahead of him

Teakle
W Dawson
Finnbar
Pink
Comben*

CCJ will play Ruck in the VFL next year

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Agreed

But cj better than pink

Cj second ruck

Teakle mainly forward

Much more dangerous with teakle and larkey forward than pink and larkey

Pink is that much better than CCJ it's not even funny

Pink is better in bringing the ball to ground in marking contests, better at covering the ground, better skill wise. Pretty much better in every aspect. He's probably not a long term solution, but way better than CCJ. And CCJ is rubbish in the ruck compared to Teakle.

In the game where he did his achilles he had already spoilt two relatively straightforward marks by teammates that would have given us gettable set shots. His game awareness was awful. Not only did he drag his opponent into a contest he should have been leading them away from, but he was also the one who actively spoilt his own teammates' marks.

Coming from a long way back if he is ever to play seniors again.

Teakle showing he could have a real future in the second ruck/third big forward role. We still need a second genuine key forward to replace pink.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Pink kicked a goal on the weekend that CCJ couldn’t even if he was on the field by himself.

 

[Event Horizon]

Teakle showing he could have a real future in the second ruck/third big forward role. We still need a second genuine key forward to replace pink.

I know he came to us with the intention of settling down in the backline, but I reckon in the short term Logue may have to play that role, as it's the only way back in to the side currently. Going forward I reckon Will Dawson will be reprogrammed as a key forward.

Collingwood won a flag with Mohicek and Frampton playing KPF.

As long as your forward line functions, you don’t need two dominating key forwards.

Fair point, although I think Mihocek is a very good player. I would be very happy to have him alongside Larkey.

It is possible to win without two genuine dominant key forwards, but it would be easier to do so with them.

You absolutely need one, Mihocek being Collingwood’s.

Carlton and Geelong are probably the only sides with two genuine star KPF’s in the one forward line.

Dogs maybe another, but depends what you classify as a star I guess.

Both Collingwood and Melbourne had high quality, high scoring forwards. Fritsch kicked six goals and Bobby Hill kicked four.

All Frampron and Mihocek needed to do was provide a target and halve the contest or be a decoy. Same with Brown and Tom McDonald.

If we play in a GF in a few years watch Paul Curtis...

It really depends on how you play.

If you’re a slower ball movement side, then quality contested marking KPFs are a necessity.

But if you move the ball faster, to less contests, then more agile forwards will get the job done.

I suggest a star KPF these days is kicking minimum 50 goals in a full season.

Cox may not be a great player, but he can hurt you if you don't respect him enough.

Still think we need another genuine key forward. Not necessarily a star but at least a sold contributor.

Will Dawson

 

[groo]

Any chance we can stop taking this guy off after he marks and kicks a goal? We seem to be able to leave Larkey on after he kicks one.

100% need to keep him on more
Rest deep forward

Only given 62% game time last game

 

[My Left Foote]

I know he came to us with the intention of settling down in the backline, but I reckon in the short term Logue may have to play that role, as it's the only way back in to the side currently. Going forward I reckon Will Dawson will be reprogrammed as a key forward.

I'd be very surprised if Logue plays forward. The club has a history of playing players who are coming back from ACL injuries behind the ball, Sausage is a very recent example of this.

Easier to run straight at the ball when you're playing in defence and much less twisting and turning involved than playing forward.

I suspect that the club would be reluctant to do this with Logue anyway but particularly given that Sausage did his ACL again when moved forward.

Not the worst choice, in his draft highlights Dawson had show then ability to take a speccy. Thats not natural to many talls.

He should only need to go off after his stint in the ruck

 

[amaz199]

What I love about him is he doesn't rush. Almost too casual at times.

He likes to assess before disposing of the ball. Very good trait for a forward that is trying to give it off to someone that can finish.

 

[Masked Avenger]

The Teakster has at least 4 inches on every Swans defender except Blakey and I can't see those two matching up.

If there's ever a match where you want to play a 204cm footballer who can jump and catch it deep against an undersized defence on an undersized ground- it's today.

Let's ask questions.
