The 22-year-old ruckman, who hails from the famous football town of Northampton, has been in strong form for the Sharks this season.  

In six games for East Fremantle, Teakle has averaged nearly 15 disposals and kicked 6 goals. 

He’s also had 101 hit-outs to help the Sharks sit in top spot on the WAFL ladder. 


3. Sebit Kuek (EP) 195cm/73 kg 

Sebit Kuek has been taken at pick 15 by the Fremantle Dockers in the AFL Mid-Season Draft. 

An emerging star in the WAFL, Kuek has kicked 16 goals in 5 games this year, displaying great athleticism as a key forward. 

Born in a Kenyan refugee camp to Sudanese parents, the 21-year-old has played 12 games for the Royals. 

Congratulation and best of luck.
