Originally from Daylesford, Teasdale made his debut with the North Melbourne Football Club in 1956 playing as a ruckman and for a period, a full-back.

Teasdale was noted for his tough, uncompromising play and in 1964 saw this almost cost him his life – as his head clashed with that of North teammate Ken Dean leaving him in a serious condition in St. Vincent's Hospital.[1] Midway through that same year, Teasdale came back to play for North, wearing a protective headguard due to medical advice.[2] He also was the acting captain in the absence of injured skipper Allen Aylett.[3]

The 1965 season saw Teasdale produced his best season yet – tying for the Brownlow Medal with Ian Stewart. Although he originally lost on countback, he was later awarded a retrospective medal in 1989.[4]

His VFL career ended in 1967 and he later moved to Woodville Football Club, where he was captain-coach from 1968 to 1970, and non-playing coach in 1971. Later he coached West Torrens Football Club in 1975–76.
