Highly regarded at the lions, certainly a lot of Brissy posters reckon he has great upside, good heigh, ahtleticism etc...
Backline somewhere is where he was groomed at the Lions. Not sure about his junior days.

Backline somewhere is where he was groomed at the Lions. Not sure about his junior days.
He is a midfielder but was played in the backline and did have some good games negating a few small forwards and also adding some run from defense.
Personally if we are going to get him i hope we play him on a wing. He is a good size at 189cm's and has some pretty good pace.

Either play him on the wing or give him a run through the midfield.

Put him on a wing or develop him in the midfield. Not 100% sure of his disposal though, looks a bit wonky from the highlight vids I've seen.
Kicking style isn't traditional, but apparently that's because of groin/hip injuries as a junior apparently.
His disposal is actually quite good, hits the intended targets most of the time however his action is terrible!
Interesting to see what we offer as trade value wise he probably sits between our 2nd and 3rd round draft pick and there are no obvious players we could exchange.
Personaly i would say our 3 round pick if you look at our recent trades of Ebert, Cripps and K Stephens

Hopefully we can nab him for a 3rd rounder. Sick of us always paying market value for players when we don't need to.

Yeah, it is not just important hitting the target, we need it low and direct.

Great. Another winger / half back
I agree with the HB comment. However, how many wingers do we have?
I think this is one of the reasons he will be a winger, not a half back for us.
so he's out of contract, has nominated us and us only, has a question-mark on his kicking action/disposal and is suited to a position we are overloaded in.
as bad as i feel for the lions right now, surely we offer our 3rd round at the most or wait until the PSD.

if we do manage to land yeo early in the trade period i wonder if matt rosa could become a useful piece for another trade (player or pick). he seems to be mentioned every off-season as being open to a trade back east and would have some value as a ready-made player for a team in the premiership window.
(fwiw i actually like rosa as a player and believe he currently offers more than say a sheppard or cripps.)

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but AFL website is showing record holders of Combine results, with Yeo a mere 0.03 secs behind Stephen Hill.
It seems a bit of a joke test, but still, good to know he's agile as well as tall and quick.

Yeo was a midfielder in his colts days at the sharks, very quick, good overhead mark, was more than average in clearance's. Will be a 200 game player and can't believe we might only get a second or third round pick for him ! We played him out of position on more than a dozen games and I reckon with more time he will be a hidden gem. Spewing !!!

We have been through the same situation with guys like Ebert and Stevens. Sadly, market value may not fairly reflect actual worth, however based on current circumstances our third rounder seems about right.

Thanks for writing out the whole team.
I wouldn't have been able to conceive of Yeo playing on a HBF or a wing without seeing the entire 22.
Strong choice of post to like to username ratio :/

The shorts I saw of him he looked agile
Marked overhead , broke a few lines and guess
What I'm pretty sure he kicked both feet , that's a win
I can't believe the number of AFL players that can't kick both
Feet , yeah I reckon he looked ok
He did look good in those shorts

Yeo could slot into Beau Waters roll and Beau could play in the forward pocket will definitely create a contest in the forward line
