Player Watch #43: Brynn Teakle

[RightWingRoo]

I don't see it. He should be a break glass only option.

He didn't provide 5 competitive minutes in the ruck last year. As a forward, goals aren't really important for him, just running patterns and distance covered. He needs to run his arse off to create space for his teammates, think Ben Brown's first years with Petrie. Last year he mostly stood deep forward and tried to take pack marks.

I'm not saying it's guaranteed, just what's expected of a 3rd tall forward/back up ruckmen.
You're right that goals aren't super important from him. But he still needs to contribute, a goal a game is a reasonable expectation. He was averaging that last year until the s**tshow of the last fortnight.
Hopefully Darling will be able to help him, with his leading patterns. Still need Brynn to put himself in the target slot from time to time, can't always be Souv.

He's not a very good ruckmen
But if he can at least break 40-60 while X has a breather it's enough.
Competing with Pink and Finnbar for a spot, he starts ahead of them imo.

I think, or at least hope, that Comben will play forward and he and Darling will split the chop-out ruck role. I'd rather we played an extra running player than Teakle - I don't think he offers enough either forward or ruck.

I'm baised to Chom playing back, because I think he's got AA potential down there. But we may run with one of the Dawson's alongside Corr and Logue and move him forward. Or even play Jacko as the 3rd tall, if we want to play a more mobile side.
Will know more when we get to the full intraclub.

In any case Brynn is a 1-3 year holding player, while Goad and Whitlock develop.

I feel it’s almost time to take the cotton wool off Chom. His body is matured and whilst maintenance is a must he can also play in the ruck, where I think he’ll ultimately play some good footy.
