Will be interesting to see how he goes being in the afl system this pre season, he might surprise
I like what he brings to the table, even if he breaks even in the ruck that’s better than Scooter

Doing some good things. Looks a bit more like a forward/ruck than a ruck/forward but with Dixon coming to the end I think that works ok
Excited to see him have a full preseason.

Big pre-season and Brynn can really push his name forward for selection.
Lots of core work to make sure he can't be easily shifted in ruck contests.
There's a lot to like about his game.

Interesting that when asked about ruckmen, he mentioned Lycett, Hayes & Dante, but not Teakle.
Those who've attended the open trainings - where has he played and how has he looked?
- He's seen as a forward first?
- He's been underwhelming and Josh had nothing nice to say?
- Just an omission, with no deeper meaning?

Let's not have another whipping boy before he's had a decent chance. He's done well in the SANFL in a forest of rucks, so yeah, maybe a forward is how they see him, but there's a pretty long queue for that role in the AFL side.
I like him a lot ... A ral shame he got that injury last year, just as he was starting to really show something.
I really hope he does well.

Carr didn’t mention Dixon either and he’s a better ruck than any of the guys mentioned. I would say Teakle is seen in the same group as Dixon and Finlayson when it comes to the ruck position - he’s seen as a secondary ruck/forward instead of a primary ruck like the other guys.

He didn't mention that he doesn't support Putin's war in Ukraine either. Reckon there is something in that.

People need to understand that it's not what he said it's what he didn't say.
I didn't see any match sim but physically he just looks like such a great athlete.
Very fit and mobile for his size.

Any chance of using Teakle as a Key Defender or a Utility?... rather than just a key forward who pinch hits in the ruck? We already have Finlayson and some degree Dixon for that.
We also got Lord (21 yrs, 96kg) who will be our next key forward option.
The forward role is full in my opinion but the tall defender roles need more depth.
Having Teakle play a key defender role that can ruck will give us more flexibility.
Unless Lycett retires this yr I don't see him being played as a forward/ruck
that role is full with 3 options (Lycett, Hayes & Visentini - less likely this yr)
Just dont want Teakle to be playing in the magpies for the remainder of his contract and future contract extensions
Mobile rucks aren't easy to come by...

I believe that you can't believe what he did say.
But I can't believe that you can't believe what he didn't say.
If you can't believe what he said, then you must believe what he didn't say

I think it was just an omission. Tess has been used as a forward first then a ruck at the open training. He went OK against Lycett and Hayes (about 45:55 win loss with the taps) and a bit better against Dante (55:45). Around the ground he pants them all. He is a much better kick, handballer, runner and mark than Lycett, Hayes and Dante and also applies more pressure than those three. Finalyson was down on his usual standard and didn't dominate around the ground but that is understandable.

Maybe we could pick up a defender in the mid-season draft.Any chance of using Teakle as a Key Defender or a Utility?... rather than just a key forward who pinch hits in the ruck? We already have Finlayson and some degree Dixon for that.
