Born in WA so you would imagine only a lowball offer would get him to leave. West Coast would be stupid not to give him a great offer, they need good senior players and leadership while they develop. Yeo has been outstanding this year, a good role model for Reid.

 

I'd think he's taking a paycut no matter where he ends up. Question is how big a pay cut and how interested he is in moving interstate to maximise his salary and/or potential to play finals.

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. 
 

 

I'm a big fan of Yeo and props to him for hitting form again at the age of 30. A great story. 

I'm not sure exactly what he's paid at the Eagles, but I'd imagine he's on a good wicket. Given he's already a premiership player at the Eagles, I'm not too sure the lure of 'success' would be what some may imagine it to be. 

I'd love him at the Dees, but a Perth boy at the age of 30, packing up to go back to the east coast for a couple of years? Yeah, not sure that would happen. 

 

The Eagles will come to the table, no doubt he will be taking a pay cut from his last contract.  Just a good old fashioned footballer, that does the basics and hard stuff exceptionally well.

Look at North and Hawthorn they have followed a similar rebuild model that we followed in 2009 to 2014, bring in early picks get rid of the experience, it didn't work for us and won't for them, you need big seasoned bodies to protect and teach the young players coming in.  AFL has never been more about winning contested footy, Reid is a beast but with out Yeo and Kelly he would be getting smashed each week.


As settled in WA as any player and will be handsomely rewarded for getting himself fit in a contract year by the Eagles.

Not happening.

Not right now, but ask me again 5 years ago.
