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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
