Yeo is a strange choice if true. Was one of the Brisbane go-home crew along with Polec et al. Not sure that screams inherent character.

That said he's a very good player but garnishing our squad with 30yo+ injury prone players is a path to be taken very carefully.

It's not.

It's Caro unthourthed ffs, and from what I know, utterly baseless.

Agree, I'm happy to have one or two of these types of players on the list assuming Yeo would replace Shiels as long as we're not going after your Farren Ray and Ray Farren types.

We should really scramble her brain and issue one of those serious looking North Melbourne Statement pages on the club site (we usually reserve these for Tarryn Thomas) stating we cannot confirm or deny recent rumours surrounding the West Coast player Elliot Yeo and will be making no further comment.

We then proceed to tag him into every post on our socials.
 
Given it's Wilson reporting this, I think it's probably safe to file under "a load of shit".

Ralph just confirmed we have not spoken to Yeo at all. So, yes it is a load of shit.

We're not going to add a perfect player.

Yeo comes up and people say "but he isn't 27 and injury free and he'll hurt our FA compensation!"

There will be some negatives to whoever we bring in.

Unless Bont decides he wants to come here and the dogs decide that they'll trade him for nothing...

We need to take on some risk.
 
The WC player I’d like us to have a crack at is Liam Duggan. Good player. Leadership skills. Fills a need in the backline. Set and forget for 5+ years. Obviously unlikely to happen is he’s one of WC’s co-captains, but that being the case it’s a bit surprising that he hasn’t re-signed yet.
 

NO GO ON YEO FOR KANGAS

West Coast is still yet to put an attractive contract in front of Elliot Yeo but he will not be moving to Arden Street.

North Melbourne’s list boss Brady Rawlings has not had one conversation about Yeo with his Perth-based management as he continues discussions with West Coast on a contact.

Yeo’s partner is pregnant and he has family reasons to want to stay in Perth but a move to Melbourne is still not out of the question if he cannot secure a satisfactory deal from the Eagles.

Rival clubs have offered three-year deals at excellent money, but West Coast’s offer is still underpriced.

A two-year deal on around $750,000 a season with a games-based clause for a third year might get the deal done at West Coast.

But the ball is in the Eagles’ court, which means the prospect of losing him only grows if they do not lift their offer.


AN OFFER HE CAN’T REFUSE?

North Melbourne’s Luke Davies-Uniacke stands to receive some of the biggest offers in the game’s history next year.

The star midfielder is out of contract next year when he is set to be targeted by every club in the competition as a restricted free agent.

The Kangaroos would be prepared to table Davies-Uniacke a lifetime deal to keep him in-line with bumper long-term deals for Nick Daicos (Collingwood), Josh Kelly (GWS Giants) and Clayton Oliver (Melbourne).

Last week Brisbane wingman Hugh McCluggage signed a seven-year contract worth more than $1 million a season.

However, rivals including St Kilda are expected to offer Davies-Uniacke about $15 million over 10 years to poach him out of Arden St.

The Kangaroos have the capacity to match a free agency bid, forcing rivals to stump up more for him in a trade.

The powerful ball-winner was ecstatic after helping spearhead North to its first win of the season over West Coast at the weekend.

Club staff have admired his loyalty to the Roos’ cause over difficult first half of his career.




SAINTS LOOK TO FEND OFF HAWKS

St Kilda remains confident it will fight off a big-money bid from Hawthorn to poach gun defender and star free agent Josh Battle.

Battle has emerged as one of Hawthorn’s top recruiting targets to bolster the back half after Sam Mitchell’s men last year missed out on Port Adelaide’s Esava Ratugolea and Bomber Ben McKay.

The Hawks have considerable room in their salary cap to secure mature-age talent after a hot run over the past five weeks, catapulting them back into finals contention.

But the Saints will make Battle, 25, a priority signing towards the end of the season after another strong season in the back half.

The Saints recently signed up Jack Sinclair and Callum Sinclair to contract extensions to help reward some of their most important players.

But Dougal Howard, Seb Ross, Zak Jones and Tim Membrey face uncertain futures.


LIONS LOOK TO LOCK UP ANOTHER

The pool of quality free agents continues to shrink alarmingly for rival suitors with Brisbane’s Jarrod Berry sure to be one of the next names taken off the board.
Brisbane has advanced talks with the Lions midfielder and wingman in recent weeks and is confident a deal is only weeks away.
The free agent has always wanted to stay at the Lions and the club is aware it might have to eventually hand him a deal as long as five seasons.
Last week Hugh McCluggage and Will Hayward re-signed at their existing clubs, with Brandon Parfitt keen to stay at Geelong and Conor Nash keen to remain at Hawthorn.
The Hawks’ new long-term deal with Blake Hardwick is the farthest advanced of their contract talks with 198ch mid Nash and dasher Changkuoth Jiath, who wants to prove his worth after returning from injury.
But clubs flush with cash don’t seem keen on Western Bulldogs ruckman Tim English, which puts St Kilda’s Josh Battle among the most sought-after free agents.
Hawthorn is chasing him as his contract talks drift.
Ben Ainsworth is keen to stay at Gold Coast after being well paid across his career as a top 10 draft pick and his management has not sought out rival interest, which has to be a good sign for him staying despite Essendon’s interest.

CROWS CONFIDENT ON CURTIN

Adelaide’s top-10 pick Daniel Curtin is totally comfortable at his new home at the Crows as Matthew Nicks tries to build up his form as a running defender after an AFL debut as a key back.
Despite recent speculation WA-based Curtin is not homesick and is keen to establish a long-term career in Adelaide.
As a player who came into the system having played key back as well as midfield in his senior year, it was always going to be a challenge to find his niche as an AFL player.
Adelaide hoped he might be a first or second defender given his size at 197cm but after two AFL games where some of his defensive efforts were exposed he has returned to the SANFL.
Adelaide is trying to play him higher up the ground to get the ball into his hand as a superb ball user, aware he is likely to emerge as a third defender rather than miserly, stopping key back.
He only had 13 possessions against South Adelaide in his last outing but with a plan established for the way forward both player and club believe a return to the AFL is not far away.

YOUNG DOG NOT KEEN TO MOVE

The Bulldogs are confident Jedd Busslinger sees his future with the club despite not yet signing a contract extension.
The No. 13 draft pick in the 2022 national draft is one of the highest selections from that class who hasn’t yet signed a new deal past 2024.
But he continues to make improvement at VFL level and could even play this week after his best VFL game.

His exceptional VFL stats have been coloured by the fact he takes kick-outs but last week he had 14 intercept possessions and five intercept marks to match his high possession tallies.
WA boy Busslinger lives with Sam Darcy and is seen as happy at the Dogs as he makes continual improvement after a very limited pre-season in his first year at the club.
The Dogs are making clear that they don’t want to trade Rory Lobb despite his indifferent form but with Busslinger making strong gains they will again have key position depth.

So pretty much every player wants to stay at their club, these articles are pointless
