He'd likely want to go home to WA. Not sure we need more defenders anyway, if that's where he plays.

    He is the type of defender we need a quick hbf type that can kick run and carry defensive side got better this year and will most likely over time push onto a wing. Don't be so sure on the return to wa

    Did really well in the agility tests at the combine and has shown that he can play. We could do worse, but as has been mentioned, would probably want to go to a WA-based side.

    if so, maybe he's trade material... who have we that may interest them?

    Yeo is uncontracted from what I can work out.

    Anyone else think he fits the half back flanker mould the swans love? Could be a Roos type of player. A bit of Malceski / Mattner about him.

    Neil Craig?

    If we release Craig from the last year of his contract we save $400,000 which we can use towards Swallow!

    I was a big fan of Elliott Yeo when he played for WA UNDER 18s. He is an ideal HBF w/o runs the lines & has elite disposal.

    Worth investigating. PSD#2 would be good. Stuff the Lions.

    Apparently the Eagles are already into him.

    Yes. According to the Hun just now, he is "keen to be traded to West Coast".

    A sad end to the winning combination of Yeo and Gabba.

    Even if he were keen, I think there are better out there we should be targeting, and his type are easy to come by.

    • 10 years later...

    Reopening this thread 11 years on. Do you give the guy a 3 year contract (2+1 contingent on games played) ?

    Looks to be back in shape and form. And The Couch mentioned Eagles are holding off contract talks. If Im Yeo question is do I want potential success and money (at Dees) or comfort and losses. 
     

    Would immediately add to our ball movement and is measurably better than Hugh McCluggage.
     

    Always loved him as footy player.

    Not a one club player, but feel the allegiance is strong and he’ll love handing the reins to Reid. He can always drop back to half back if his body holds up but his speed wains. Would love him to play for us but can’t see a way it eventuates. Would rather see us draft kids with our picks. Mids and Noah Yze.

    I thought the time to move was at the end of last season...

    Great player.

    I would do a straight swap for Jimmy Toumpas.

    We won't pay him what the Weagles are paying him.

    At 31/32 and only averaging 10 games a year for the past four years the Weagles are right to hold off talks.

    I'd rather someone with less miles on the clock.

    Unfortunately you are correct, he would be the perfect replacement for Brayshaw.

    could we offer him good $$ for 2 years.  We do desperately need that extra classy midfielder that Gus was.  Big hole in our side atm

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
