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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
