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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
